The Congress party has taken strong exception to senior leader Shashi Tharoor's recent remarks expressing admiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The party described Tharoor's statements as 'somehow heard forceful assertions' that go against the party's stance.

During a recent interaction, Tharoor praised Modi's leadership and governance style, which led to a backlash within the Congress ranks. Party spokespersons reiterated that such individual expressions do not reflect the collective opinion of the party.
