Shashi Tharoor ALL Praises for PM Modi ! Will Congress Take Pre Emptive Measures?

In a rather surprising tweet that has sparked chatter across political circles, senior Congress leader and Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor extended warm appreciation towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating:

"We are all grateful for the opportunity to be of service to the nation, Pradhan Mantriji @narendramodi! Jai Hind 🇮🇳"

The tweet was in response to a post by PM Modi, who shared his interaction with delegations that had represented India across the world. In his tweet, PM Modi highlighted:

We are all grateful for the opportunity to be of service to the nation, Pradhan Mantriji @narendramodi! Jai Hind 🇮🇳 https://t.co/oa258cvRlr

"Met members of the various delegations who represented India in different countries and elaborated on India's commitment to peace and the need to eradicate the menace of terrorism. We are all proud of the manner in..."

While PM Modi’s post focused on India’s global positioning and anti-terrorism commitment, it was Tharoor’s enthusiastic endorsement that caught many off guard—especially given the historically adversarial tone between the Congress and the BJP.

Congress in Discomfort?

Tharoor’s tweet is being viewed by political analysts as either an individual gesture of statesmanship or potentially a calculated positioning ahead of internal party dynamics or reshuffles. It remains to be seen whether the Congress high command will issue a statement or take pre-emptive steps to clarify or distance the party from Tharoor’s praise of the Prime Minister.

Political Optics

With increasing bipartisan appreciation of India’s diplomatic outreach and a growing narrative of “nation first,” such cross-party gestures are not unheard of—but are still rare, especially in a politically polarized atmosphere.

As India strides forward on the global stage, gestures like these may signal a softening of stances, or they may simply be an individual MP acknowledging India’s larger interests.

For now, Tharoor’s praise has opened a new conversation—both within Congress corridors and across the political spectrum.
