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

The BJP said Tharoor’s remarks on civilian seafarers show Rahul Gandhi is losing support inside Congress and among alliance partners.

  • On Saturday, the BJP claimed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is losing internal support, using Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's recent praise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sharpen its attack on the Opposition leader.
  • Tharoor on Friday endorsed Prime Minister Modi's message on protecting civilian seafarers, describing the atmosphere surrounding Modi's meeting with President Donald Trump as "cordial and warm."
  • "The Prime Minister rather forcefully made his point that as long as they are civilians engaged in commercial shipping, they should not be treated like combatants in a war," Tharoor said.
  • BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla further alleged that Gandhi has lost public support, claiming he has "lost 99 elections" and lacks backing from allies like the Left or the DMK.
  • Tharoor expressed hope that peace would endure between the United States and Iran during a proposed 60-day negotiation period, contrasting his diplomatic optimism with his party's criticism of the Prime Minister.
