Shashi Tharoor: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has once again made news, this time because he was said to have ignored an important meeting with party boss Rahul Gandhi. The move has led to a lot of talk about his future in the party and whether he still has as much power as he used to in Thiruvananthapuram.
The Meeting That He Didn’t Go To
Rahul Gandhi had asked top Congress leaders to get together and go over their plans for the upcoming state elections and how to restructure the party. People in the party knew right away that Tharoor was not there. Even though formal reasons are unclear, sources say that the veteran MP may have intentionally skipped the gathering, showing growing friction or putting his own political goals first.
What This Means for the Congress
Tharoor’s move could give Congress members who disagree with the party more confidence to speak out, especially in Kerala, where the struggle for power within the party is already tense, according to analysts. People are starting to question the party’s unity and discipline, as well as the leadership’s ability to handle famous people.
Responses from the Public and Politicians
People on social media have responded strongly, with supporters saying Tharoor should be free to do what he wants and critics saying he is hurting the party’s unity. Political pundits say that if the party looks split before the election, these kinds of actions might hurt Congress’s chances of winning.
The Coming Road
People are closely watching Tharoor’s connection with the party’s leadership, especially Rahul Gandhi, whether his action was a thought-out political move or an early sign of losing power. In Thiruvananthapuram, the next few weeks will be very important in figuring out if this is only a short-lived break or if a new political system is starting to form.
