Shillong: Congress presidential election candidate Dr. Shashi Tharoor will be here in Meghalaya on Saturday to campaign for the upcoming poll to the top party post.
Tharoor is pitted against veteran Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member, Mallikarjun Kharge, who is seen emerging as the favourite to win the poll for party president.
