Kerala unit upset over Shashi Taroor for praising PM Modi
Mullapally Ramachandran, said the Congress will not "accept" the remarks of Mr Tharoor
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In Kerala, the Congress party has decided to ask for an explanation from its MP Shashi Tharoor for praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, of the rival party BJP.
Mr Tharoor last week had said that, "As you know, I have argued for six years now that Narendra Modi should be praised whenever he says or does the right thing, which would add credibility to our criticisms whenever he errs. I welcome others in opposition coming around to a view for which I was excoriated at the time."
Mullapally Ramachandran, said the Congress will not "accept" the remarks of Mr Tharoor.
Mullally Ramachandran, the party chief in Kerala said, "We have decided to seek an explanation from Shashi Tharoor and the course of action will be taken based on his explanation. No one should be praising Modi at the expense of the Congress; the party will not accept that."
On August 24 Mr Tharoor had tweeted on the social networking site of Twitter, "Kerala media agog over my tweet ydy on the importance of enhancing our credibility by tempering our justified criticism of NaMi w/ merited praise. Made it clear I want @incIndia back in government for that we need to win over those fair-minded voters who supported BJP in'19."
