BJP's Shehzad Poonawalla criticised Congress on Monday, saying, " My condolences to Shashi Tharoor ji for believing this sham and farce was an election!"
He added, "Ajay Maken has already announced the winner by saying that Gehlot will be President on October 19."
Maken had previously said that Gehlot would violate conflict of interest when he becomes the party President.
