Shashi Tharoor Snubs Congress High Command Meeting After 'Insult' At Kochi Event
UPDATED: Jan 23, 2026 10:54 IST
This report examines the widening rift within the Kerala unit of the Congress party as Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor decided to skip a crucial high command meeting. Tharoor reportedly felt 'insulted' during a recent Mahapanchayat event in Kochi, where he was allegedly ignored by Rahul Gandhi and faced protocol issues regarding seating and speaking orders. Despite previously stating, 'I am always a Congress party worker, and I will continue to work with the party for the Assembly elections,' Tharoor’s decision to attend the Kerala Literature Festival instead of the strategy session signals renewed friction. The transcript highlights that while the party recently sought unity during a camp in Wayanad, tensions between Tharoor and the state leadership have resurfaced. This development comes at a critical time as the party prepares for upcoming Assembly elections, following successes in local body polls. The report suggests that Tharoor's history of praising the LDF government's 'ease of doing business' continues to be a point of contention with the state leadership.
