'Snollygoster': Tharoor describes Maharashtra scene in one word
Shashi Tharoor on Saturday pulled out one of his old tweets to describe the stunning political development in Maharashtra and those involved in the manoeuvres.
New Delhi: Shashi Tharoor on Saturday pulled out one of his old tweets to describe the stunning political development in Maharashtra and those involved in the manoeuvres.
He retweeted his tweet from two years ago. "Word of the day! Definition of *snollygoster* US dialect: a shrewd, unprincipled politician.
First Known Use: 1845 Most recent use: 26/7/17," Shashi Tharoor had tweeted on July 27, 2017. On Saturday, he issued a "correction", saying "Most recent use: 23 November 2019, Mumbai."
Tharoor's tweet in 2017 had come after Nitish Kumar, the Janata Dal (United) chief, severed ties from Mahagathbandhan with the Rashtriya Janata Dal and Congress to go back to the BJP fold.
