Kerala leaders are upset that Shashi Tharoor has not signed the opposition petition against the Left-led government's K-Rail (Kerala high-speed rail) project.
Congress versus Congress has sprung up in Kerala again with the party's state chief putting out a stern, and very public, warning for his own MP, Shashi Tharoor.
Kerala leaders are upset that Shashi Tharoor has not signed the opposition petition against the Left-led government's K-Rail (Kerala high-speed rail) project. Sources said the Congress MP had said he needed more time to study it.
"Shashi Tharoor is a single man in the party. Every person is entitled to their opinion. If he agrees to the party line, he will continue in the party. If not agreeing to the party line, he will not be in the party. That's all it is," Congress's Kerala unit chief, K Sudhakaran, said bitterly.
"Whether it is Shashi Tharoor or K Sudhakaran, no one has given the right to party MPs to oppose party decisions. One Shashi Tharoor isn't Congress," he told reporters.
