Shashi Tharoor’s ‘Word Of The Day’ Swipe At Nitish Kumar Amid Bihar Drama

New Delhi: 

Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Sunday took a swipe at JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar over his latest volte-face after he walked out of the Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar, dubbing him as a “snollygoster” or a shrewd and unprincipled politician.

He shared his social media post from 2017 when Mr Kumar had broken away from the Mahagathbandhan or the grand alliance in Bihar with the Rashtriya Janata Dal and Congress and returned to the BJP despite being foes for a long time.

“Word of the day! Definition of *snollygoster* US dialect: a shrewd, unprincipled politician. First Known Use: 1845. Most recent use: 26/7/17,” Mr Tharoor had tweeted in 2017.
