New Delhi:
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor invited another spat with his party leadership Tuesday after he praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, again. In a post on X the Thiruvananthapuram MP said he had been invited to a private event in Delhi, at which the Prime Minister spoke on “India’s constructive impatience for development and pushed strongly for (the growth) of a post-colonial mindset”.
The Prime Minister, he said, “emphasised that India is no longer just an ’emerging market’ but an ’emerging model’ for the world”, which had taken note of its economic resilience in having survived global events like the pandemic and is navigating through the conflict in Ukraine.
“PM Modi said he had been accused of being in ‘election mode’ all the time… but he was really in an ’emotional mode’ to redress the problems of the people,” Tharoor said, recounting what the PM said in his speech, which focused on colonialism’s impact on education in India.
