BJP claims Rahul Gandhi losing support within Congress, cites Tharoor’s remarks on PM Modi

The BJP said Shashi Tharoor’s remarks show Rahul Gandhi is losing support within Congress and among allies, while 99 election losses were cited.

  • On Saturday, the BJP claimed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is losing internal party support, citing Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's recent praise for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sharpen its attack on the opposition leader.
  • Tharoor backed Modi's G7 message regarding Indian sailors amid the Middle East conflict, stating the Prime Minister "rather forcefully made his point that as long as they are civilians engaged in commercial shipping, they should not be treated like combatants in a war."
  • This endorsement contradicts Congress claims that Modi was "silent" during his meeting with United States President Donald Trump, which Tharoor described as "cordial and warm" in restoring India-US relations.
  • BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla asserted that Gandhi has lost public support and the backing of allies, claiming the opposition leader has "lost 99 elections" and lacks confidence of his own MPs.
  • Regarding regional stability, Tharoor expressed hope for enduring peace following the recent ceasefire understanding between the United States and Iran, anticipating progress during a proposed 60-day negotiation period.
