Is Shashi Tharoor on His Way Out of Congress? Big Political Turbulence in Kerala

Описание: A major debate has surfaced within the Congress Party over the conduct and political positioning of Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor. Discussions across Kerala and the rest of India revolve around questions of internal discipline, loyalty, and growing speculation about a possible exit from the party.

Shashi Tharoor, a four-time MP from Thiruvananthapuram, recently secured victory in the 2024 Lok Sabha election with a significantly reduced margin compared to 2019. Despite strong public popularity, concerns within the party have intensified due to repeated deviations from the party line and perceived closeness to the Prime Minister.

The tension escalated after the 2022 AICC presidential election, where Mallikarjun Kharge won with overwhelming support from the party leadership, leaving Tharoor with a much smaller vote share. Subsequent indirect criticism of the high-command and independent political stands have fueled ongoing speculation about future moves.

The latest controversy emerged during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India, when Shashi Tharoor attended a state banquet hosted by President Droupadi Murmu. Opposition leaders in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha—Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge—were not invited as per protocol. Congress leaders criticised the government for breaking parliamentary tradition, leading to questions about Tharoor’s decision to attend. Tharoor clarified that attendance was based on his role as Chairperson of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs.

Past diplomatic engagements, including the government selecting Tharoor for an international delegation over senior Congress names, have also contributed to internal discomfort. Praise directed toward government actions and non-participation in certain key meetings have added to speculation of a widening rift.

Growing pressure within Congress circles is now centred on whether disciplinary action will be taken or whether Shashi Tharoor will chart a different political path. Upcoming developments may provide clarity on the future of this internal conflict.
