Tharoor Ends Speculation on 'Leaving Congress' at Manorama Hortus; Reveals Why He Praises BJP
In a move to quell speculation surrounding his future in Indian politics, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has reaffirmed his commitment to serving the nation and addressing the development challenges facing Kerala. Speaking at the Manorama Hortus, a premier literary and cultural event in the state, Tharoor addressed the media and the public, providing clarity on his position within the Congress party.
Tharoor's remarks came amidst persistent rumors that he might be considering a departure from the Congress. However, the senior leader categorically stated that he remains dedicated to the party and its ideals. He emphasized his commitment to working towards the betterment of India and addressing the pressing issues affecting the country, including poverty, inequality, and social injustice.
In a surprise revelation, Tharoor also spoke about his reasons for praising the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been a subject of controversy in the past. He stated that he does so because he believes it is essential to acknowledge the efforts of any party that contributes positively to the nation's development. Tharoor's statement has been seen as a measured approach to engaging with the opposition, a move that may help to foster a more constructive dialogue in Indian politics.
Tharoor's comments have been welcomed by Congress supporters and opponents alike, who see his commitment to serving India as a refreshing change in an era of intense partisan politics. As the Congress party navigates the complexities of Indian politics, Tharoor's dedication to the party and its ideals is likely to be a source of inspiration for its supporters.
