BJP hails Tharoor backing India’s Russia-Ukraine stand

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi:The BJP seems to be warming up to Congress MP Shashi Tharoor with each passing day as the saffron party hailed Tharoor’s stand on India’s position on Russia-Ukraine conflict. While the Congress maintained a stoic silence, BJP MP Sambit Patra said that the Congress leaders including party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi should “appreciate” Tharoor’s stand. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya said that “knives would be out in Congress” after Tharoor’s remarks and the remarks were likely to leave Rahul Gandhi “red faced”. “This will likely leave Rahul Gandhi red-faced, with the Congress media department scrambling to clarify that Shashi Tharoor’s remarks reflect his personal views - not the party’s official stance - despite Tharoor having led the party’s charge on the issue in Parliament,” Malviya tweeted.
