How to deteriorate with Congress

A few days ago, when PM Modi went to France and America, Tharoor said very positive things about him. He had said that our Prime Minister has got an important role as a co-chairman in the AI ​​Action Summit, so this is a very good thing for our country. With this, he gave great importance to the meeting with PM Modi immediately after Trump became President in America. This matter was not even calm in the Congress that he wrote an article praising the policies related to the start up of Kerala’s Lift Funt government. Annoyed by this, some Congress leaders of Kerala complained to the party high command. Leader of Opposition in Kerala Assembly VD Satishan said that neither he nor the party (Congress) knows what circumstances or figures he (Tharoor) The article was written on the basis. The party can investigate the circumstances or data on which they have written this article.

Shashi Tharoor has not been holding any position in the party since being removed from the post of President of All India Professional Congress. He also contested the election against Mallikarjun Kharge for the post of Congress President and in 2022, he was also among the G23 leaders who questioned the party leadership, writing a letter to the then party president Sonia Gandhi.

Tharoor’s answer to Congress questions

Reacting to the question of satisfaction, Tharoor said that his article was based on ‘facts, documents, figures and dates’ as well as ‘Global Startup Ecosystem Report’ and ‘Performance of Kerala’. The Congress MP said that whenever the state government or the Center has done something wrong, they have criticized it and similarly when they do something good, it should be praised. He said that during the last 18 months, the Left Front government worked on improving entrepreneurship, investment and development in Kerala, which the state needed for a long time. Tharoor said, “Kerala is at the top in terms of ease in business. The Marxist Communist Party (CPI -M) does not release this ranking. We cannot blind eyes on this. We cannot do politics in everything, especially where there is a matter of public interest. “

The controversy increased further when the Congress Party’s mouthpiece Vsaranam Daily in Kerala published an editorial criticizing Congress leader Shashi Tharoor without naming. This urged him not to betray the expectations of thousands of party workers before the upcoming local body elections. A day later, Tharoor allegedly removed a poster of the Kerala Congress Committee from his Facebook, in which members of CPI (M) were called “cannibals”.
