Cong backs Tharoor on Modi comments

February 02, 2015 20:58

Congress today saw nothing wrong in Shashi Tharoor's latest praise of Narendra Modi as a 'master communicator'.

AICC spokesman Abhishek Singhvi insisted that Tharoor has instead drawn attention to the 'huge hiatus' between the words and deeds of the Prime Minister.

"It is wrong to distort. We should be fair... What is the clear meaning, intent and spirit of what he has said... He has faulted Modi on the huge hiatus between what he says and what he does," Singhvi said.

Tharoor, who had only recently earned the party's wrath for praising Modi, said in his latest remarks that in the prime minister "we are all seeing a master communicator at work".
