Kerala : Shashi Tharoor opens up, admits differences with Congress leadership Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram, senior Kerala Congress leader, and former Union Minister
Shahsi tharoor has finally opened up about his stance within the party. On Thursday, Tharoor admitted to having “some differences of opinion” with the Congress leadership but emphasized that he intends to address these issues privately when approached by party members. Speaking to the media in Thiruvananthapuram, Tharoor said, “I have been working with the Congress for the past 16 years.
I do have some differences of opinion with the party, and I will discuss them internally. Today, I don’t wish to speak about it publicly. I need to meet and talk, and when the time comes, I will discuss it.” Tharoor’s remarks come amid speculation about his position within the Congress, particularly following his absence from the campaign for the ongoing Nilambur Assembly by-election in Kerala. His comments have sparked discussions about internal dynamics within the state and national leadership of the party, though he refrained from elaborating on the specifics of his disagreements, citing the ongoing bypoll.
The senior leader’s statement underscores his commitment to resolving issues within the party framework, even as he navigates reported tensions with certain factions of the Congress leadership. Tharoor, known for his articulate public persona and independent views, has often been seen as a prominent yet occasionally isolated figure within the party. As the #Nilambur by-election continues, all eyes remain on Tharoor’s next moves and whether these differences will lead to further developments within the Congress in Kerala.
