Senior Congress leader and MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor is once again in the headlines. Known for his outspoken style and clear views, Tharoor has this time given a clear warning about the Congress party. Shashi Tharoor’s warning has started a new controversy.
According to sources, Tharoor was accused of making statements deviating from the party line. In response, Tharoor said that he is with the Congress. But he also clarified that if the party does not give him any work, then he has other options open. Tharoor said in detail, If the party wants me, then I will be there; if not, then I have other work to do.
He further said that while he appreciates and accepts the good work of the government, he is often criticized within the party for recognizing the positive work of his opponents. He said I have not seen a negative response from the public for my opinion. However, there is such a reaction within the party.
However, while speaking in the Indian Express Malayalam (IE Malayalam) podcast, Shashi Tharoor dismissed the rumors of changing the party. According to the podcast, he said that even if there are differences, he does not think so. Tharoor’s statements are important because he had earlier praised the policies of the Kerala government and Prime Minister Modi for meeting US President Donald Trump. These things did not go down well with the Congress.
During the podcast interview, the Congress MP reacted to the controversy. He said that I never considered myself a politician. That’s why I have narrow political views. Earlier on Saturday, Shashi Tharoor shared a quote from English poet Thomas Gray’s poem ‘Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College’ on Instagram. It read, ‘Where ignorance is bliss, it is foolish to be wise.’ He captioned the post, ‘Thought of the day.’ Tharoor’s cryptic post has fueled further speculation about his stance. His statements continue to spark debate within political circles.
