Breaking News: Is Shashi Tharoor Becoming the ‘Man of the Moment’ — And a Congress Dilemma? | ABP NEWS

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is currently at the center of attention across the political spectrum. From BJP leaders to common party supporters, many are praising his recent assertive stance on national security. His bold remarks during international events — including sharp warnings to Pakistan over Operation Sindoor — have drawn comparisons to PM Modi's tone, unsettling many in his own party. Once a vocal critic of Modi, Tharoor now acknowledges the effectiveness of India's surgical strikes, even crediting the Modi government for actions across the LoC and international borders. His evolving position has sparked discontent within Congress, with senior leader Udit Raj branding him as “BJP’s super spokesperson.” Despite party anger, Tharoor's popularity is rising. His charisma, foreign policy knowledge, and candid responses — including defending his wife with dignity and charm — have made him a social media favorite, often hailed as “man of the moment.” As the 2026 Kerala elections approach, Congress seems reluctant to sideline him completely, knowing he remains their most influential face in the state. Yet, his growing ideological distance hints that a formal split might only be a matter of time. Tharoor has become an uncomfortable truth Congress cannot ignore.
