Tharoor: Not Pro-BJP, But Pro-Government on Some Issues — Unity Talks Ahead of Kerala Polls
Tharoor clarifies his stance while meeting Congress leaders to address internal concerns and project unity ahead of the Kerala assembly polls.
Shashi Tharoor has clarified that his stance is not anti-BJP, but on certain issues he prioritizes the government’s approach or India’s interests over party politics. He reaffirmed his commitment to remaining in the Congress and contributing to the party’s goals.
Sources describe a nearly two-hour meeting with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, held in Kharge's chamber inside the Parliament House complex, as part of a broader effort to address internal concerns ahead of the Kerala assembly polls.
They stressed that there was no discussion about a chief ministerial face, and that the conversation focused on unity, strategy, and working together to secure electoral wins.
Tharoor’s remarks about not being pro-BJP but being pro-government or pro-India on certain issues reflect a push to separate governance from partisan contests on some topics.
The session signals ongoing attempts within the party to project a united front and reassure cadres that leadership and direction remain firm, even as debates over priorities and roles continue behind the scenes.
