For unversed, party leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Shashi Tharoor are in the race for the top position in Congress.

"Both the people (Shashi Tharoor & Mallikarjun Kharge) who are standing (in Congress president polls) have position & perspective and are people of statute & understanding. I don't think that either of them will be a remote control," said Rahul Gandhi.

After a gap of 22 years, elections to Congress President's post will be held on October 17. Counting of votes will be done on October 19.

"We are not a fascist party. We are a party that believes in conversation and we welcome different viewpoints. We do know that in order to win elections we will have to work as a team," he added.

"I have always stood for a certain idea, that disturbs the BJP and RSS. Thousands of crores of media money and energy have been spent to shape me in a way which is untruthful and wrong. That will continue as that machine is financially rich and well-oiled," Rahul Gandhi said.
