Amid reports that all is not well between him and the Congress following backlash from within the party on his apparent praise recently for the Kerala Left Democratic Front (LDF) government's industrial policy and also for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, MP Shashi Tharoor on Sunday refused to comment further on the subject."No comments at all," said the Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram as reporters accosted him at the New Delhi airport today.
Tharoor meanwhile urged the media persons to "Go watch the match; it's an important match today." The ICC Champions Trophy match between India and Pakistan began in Dubai this afternoon.
Tharoor had on Saturday posted on his X account the quote "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise" by poet Thomas Gray.
This follows an interview to a Malayalam podcast, of a leading newspaper published from New Delhi today in its English edition, in which he noted that if the Congress did not try to expand its appeal, it would be sitting in opposition for the third consecutive time in Kerala.
