Shashi Tharoor’s latest comments have added fuel to ongoing speculation about a growing rift between him and the Congress leadership. In an interaction with NDTV, Tharoor appeared visibly irked when asked about his rapport with other Congress leaders, saying, “Don’t talk to me about others,” a remark that hinted at possible internal friction. While he had earlier dismissed reports of his potential defection to the BJP and downplayed tensions, his tone now suggests deeper discontent.

The Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram is known for his independent stance within the party and has, in the past, taken positions that diverge from the central leadership. His candid responses, especially at a time when the party is looking to consolidate ahead of future elections, have sparked renewed debate about his role in the Congress’s future.

So far, the Congress leadership has refrained from commenting on the remarks, adding to the intrigue surrounding Tharoor’s political trajectory.
