Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) will seek an explanation from Shashi Tharoor, Member of Parliament from Thiruvananthapuram, for praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress leaders in the state were upset with Tharoor’s praise of Modi.
KPCC is intervening in the issue as BJP leaders could use these statements to attack Congress in the by-polls that are nearing.
KPCC might ask Tharoor not to make such remarks again. Officially, it might also ask the All India Congress Committee (AICC) to intervene in similar incidents by Congress leaders.
