Congress Disowns Tharoor's Praise for Modi's Global Role

The Congress party distanced itself from Shashi Tharoor's remarks praising PM Narendra Modi's energy on the global stage. While Tharoor highlighted Modi's asset value for India, Congress asserted that his views are personal and not reflective of the party's stance.

The Congress party has distanced itself from MP Shashi Tharoor's remarks made in an article praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's energy and engagement on the international stage as significant assets for India.

Addressing the issue, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate indicated that Tharoor's comments are his personal views and not the official stance of the Congress party. She emphasized that the party's objections to Modi's governance are supported by evidence.

The article, published in The Hindu, saw Tharoor acknowledging Modi's impactful diplomatic outreach and leadership post Operation Sindoor, sparking potential friction with the Congress leadership.
