BJP claims Rahul Gandhi losing support within Congress, cites Tharoor’s remarks on PM Modi

The BJP said Shashi Tharoor’s praise of Narendra Modi on seafarer safety shows even Congress leaders are questioning Rahul Gandhi’s leadership.

  • The BJP on Saturday claimed that Rahul Gandhi is losing internal support within the Congress, citing Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sharpen its attack on the opposition leader.
  • On Friday, Tharoor backed Modi's position on the safety of Indian sailors in the Middle East, describing the recent meeting between the Prime Minister and President Donald Trump as "cordial and warm."
  • BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla alleged that Tharoor's remarks contradict Gandhi's stance, claiming that Gandhi has lost the "janmat" after having lost 99 elections.
  • Poonawalla challenged the Congress party's "Cool PM Rahul" narrative, claiming that "his own MPs do not seem to believe" that Gandhi will become the country's prime minister.
  • Tharoor expressed hope that peace would endure following the recent ceasefire understanding between the United States and Iran, suggesting a broader agreement could protect maritime trade routes.
