Shashi Tharoor has once again stirred the Congress pot by publicly praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech at a closed-door event in Delhi. The Thiruvananthapuram MP said the PM’s address was both an economic outlook and a cultural call to action, stressing India’s need to break free from a 200-year-old colonial mindset. Tharoor wrote that he appreciated Modi’s emphasis on restoring pride in India’s heritage, languages, and knowledge systems. His comments, however, arrive at a sensitive moment. Congress is already uneasy over Tharoor’s recent praise of the PM’s leadership during the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. Party circles fear his bipartisan tone signals a larger ideological shift. With visuals showing Tharoor seated alongside BJP leaders, and with his recent critique of dynastic politics, speculation about his political future has intensified once again.
