New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks once again made headlines in the headlines during the inauguration of Vijinjam International CEL in Kerala. The Prime Minister referred to Mr. Tharoor with the name and suggested that the presence of Congress MP in the incident would “disturb the sleep”.
“Today, Shashi Tharoor is sitting here. Today’s program will bother the sleep of some people. He has gone wherever it was to go.” PM Modi said with the day.
The direct context of the Prime Minister for Shri Tharoor is a rare moment of public acknowledgment in the four-term Congress MP of Thiruvananthapuram. The comment follows the weeks of growing speculation around the place of Shri Tharoor within the Congress party, especially in Kerala, where he has predicted his person to stand apart from the party’s state leadership.
Mr. Tharoor’s decision personally, despite the delay in the flight to receive Prime Minister Modi at Thiruvananthapuram Airport, he did not pay attention to what he said to the “rape” state of Delhi airport. A picture of Mr. Tharoor who is congratulating the Prime Minister has gone viral on social media.
Mr. Tharoor posted on X, “Mr. Tharoor posted on X,” Mr. Tharoor managed to land in his constituency, on his arrival in his constituency.

Mr. Tharoor’s presence with PM Modi came at a time when his relationship with his party’s leadership, especially in Kerala, has been a matter of discussion. In recent months, Mr. Tharoor has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with what has been publicly expressed in the state Congress unit as “Leadership Vacuum”.
He has recently held meetings with senior Congress data including Rahul Gandhi, which has not been promoted to discuss its future within the party, although no concrete results have been promoted.
In March this year, Rajiv Chandrashekhar recently appointed the head of the BJP Kerala Unit, praising India’s vaccine diplomacy and the government’s Russia-Ukraine struggle for his comments for his comments.
“They have become enlightened,” Mr. Chandrashekhar commented, thanking Mr. Tharoor and others in the Congress, what he described as the achievements of the Modi government.
He also recalled the previous praise from Mr. Tharoor, such as PM Modi was referred to as “very difficult negotiaters” after the comments made by US President Donald Trump. Mr. Chandrashekhar said, “Better late,” said Mr. Chandrashekhar.
Although Mr. Tharoor did not directly name PM Modi in his magazine’s article on India’s vaccine diplomacy, his words were seen as a silent support. “India’s efforts were appreciated, increasing his reputation as a responsible global leader,” he wrote.
The central leadership of the Congress party has tried to project Ekta. Rahul Gandhi recently shared a silhouette image of Kerala Congress leaders, standing together, which appears to be the outline of Mr. Tharoor, with the caption: “They stand as one.”
Mr. Tharoor has persistent to his share, continuously that his comment has been excluded from the context and he is committed to the goals of the Congress party. However, he has not rejected “options”, should the party decide that it no longer needs his services.
Port event was a high-profile opportunity. Visinjam International Port, built at an estimated cost of Rs 8,867 crore, is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in India. The port is being developed by Adani Ports and SEZ Limited under a public-private partnership and deployed to emerge as an important transpiration hub in international maritime trade.
PM Modi reached the site by helicopter and surveyed facilities on foot, wearing a hard hat, as he was informed on operations.
