Tharoor picks up the broom for Modi's 'Clean India' campaign
October 25, 2014 13:42
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor today decided to take up PM's Clean India challenge
and took part in the campaign at a beach in Thiruvananthapuram.
"I thank the PM for making 'Clean India' top national agenda," he said.
On Twitter, offering a clarification of sorts for backing the rival BJP's initiative, Tharoor wrote, "Before my actions today are distorted: a clean India requires no label. Why cede Gandhiji's sanitation drive to any party? A national cause."
He was recently removed as the Congress spokesperson for praising Modi.
Will his move today spell more trouble?
