A new debate has started in Congress and Indian politics over Shashi Tharoor being given the leadership of the global outreach delegation. Congress leader Dr. Shashi Tharoor himself has described this responsibility as a ‘pride for the nation’ and said that this is an opportunity to serve the country by rising above politics. The Congress party, while sharing the post, praised the government’s decision while also taking a sharp dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The Congress shared the post and wrote, “When Prime Minister Modi and his Foreign Minister have lost credibility at the international level, then the country needs a face that is respected on the global stage. We thank the government for recognizing the lack of talent in the BJP and choosing a Congress leader for the country.”
The Congress further wrote that they are confident that Dr. Shashi Tharoor will present India’s image strongly on international forums and will be successful in correcting the mistakes made by the Modi government’s foreign policy. Congress launched a direct attack and said, “BJP has a huge shortage of capable leaders; that’s why they needed our Shashi Tharoor.”
Congress is looking at this development as its ideological and intellectual edge. They believe that the BJP’s alleged “talent vacuum” has now been accepted by the BJP itself. Handing over the command of the delegation to Shashi Tharoor is a big sign in this direction.
This statement is rapidly going viral on social media, where people are calling this development a unique turn in Indian politics. Many people are also calling it a battle of “talent vs. propaganda.” Although there has been no official response from the BJP yet, it is clear that the opposition is now ready to openly corner the government over the BJP’s image on international forums.
A user writes, “Correct the mistakes. Dr. Shashi Tharoor will be presenting the views of the government of India only.
Another user writes, “Shashi Tharoor is a filler to fill the vacuum created by Rahul Gandhi. You better make Shashi Tharoor your leader; otherwise, Congress will be reduced to nothing.
