The Indian National Congress has publicly criticized Shashi Tharoor, a Member of Parliament from the Congress party, for his recent comments seemingly praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s widespread popularity. Congress leaders have accused Tharoor of exhibiting excessive admiration for Modi, suggesting his praise has become disproportionate and detached from reality. The criticism stems from Tharoor’s remarks indicating Modi’s support transcends the material realm. Congress spokespersons have stated Tharoor’s comments are inappropriate given the party’s opposition to Modi’s policies and governance. This internal rebuke highlights tensions within the Congress party regarding its approach to publicly addressing the Prime Minister. The incident has sparked debate about the boundaries of political critique and personal opinion within the opposition.
