Ponnawala has also jibed at senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor who is a contender for the grand old partyโ€™s top post, sending him condolences.

โ€œMy condolences to Shashi Tharoor ji for believing this sham & farce was an election ! It was always a โ€œcoronationโ€ of a darbari or parivarvadi.โ€

 Poonawalla, who was former  Maharastra Congress secretary, had in 2017 made headlines after he raised his voice against the elevation of Rahul Gandhi as president. Poonawalla had then alleged that the party presidential polls are rigged in favor of Rahul Gandhi.
According to Sources, The Congress party high command wants Rajashtan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to be party chief and Sachin Pilot, his former deputy to be CM. However, the sources say Gehlot wishes to hold both positions or at least wishes his preferred candidate to be CM.
The nominations will be filed till September 30 and results declaring the new Congress chief will be announced on October 19.
