Would have been good if Rahul Gandhi attended Budget session: Shashi Tharoor
New Delhi: Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Friday said it would have been good if Rahul Gandhi had attended the Budget Session but expressed confidence that the Congress vice president would return from his break with an agenda for change.
“Very seriously, it would be good if Rahul Gandhi had attended the Budget Session… That is something that we offered on a platter to the opposition,” Tharoor said during a discussion on his latest book, ‘India Shastra’.
The former Union minister at the same time said he respected Rahul’s move as he has “every right to make his decision”.
“I am very confident that he would come back renewed and bring an agenda for change,” Tharoor said.
“I am very confident that he would come back renewed and bring an agenda for change,” Tharoor said.
The Congress MP, who had in the past angered his party by praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was even replaced as its official spokesman over the issue, meanwhile, flagged the contradictions between the rhetoric and the actions of the Prime Minister.
Tharoor said he found a lot of contradictions in Modi’s speech and actions.
“Obviously, the speech to church leaders last week was too late to put in my book, but up until last week, he had used extremely negative language as well as specific actions which I have enumerated in the book of violence against minorities and communalism.
