Tharoor's Praise for Modi Unveils Congress Rifts

Shashi Tharoor's recent praise for Prime Minister Narendra Modi has drawn criticism from his own party, the Congress, especially from its leadership. The BJP seized upon Tharoor's comments to highlight internal party tensions and showcase Modi's global impact, potentially widening divisions within the Congress.

In a surprising political twist, Shashi Tharoor praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his dynamism and global engagement, describing these attributes as vital assets for India's international presence. This endorsement has brought to light the underlying fissures within the Congress party, where Tharoor is a senior leader.

The statements from Tharoor, lauded by BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari, underscore what he considers Modi's strategic advantages on the world stage. Bhandari remarked that Tharoor's commendation inadvertently exposes internal conflicts, particularly with Congress's Rahul Gandhi.

Previously, Tharoor led a multi-party delegation to the US, stressing India's diplomatic prowess post-Operation Sindoor. Despite acknowledging existing disagreements with Congress leadership, Tharoor maintains his allegiance to the party's values while indicating differences over foreign policy approaches.
