Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has decided not to attend an important party meeting called by senior leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge to discuss Kerala assembly poll preparations, sources told NDTV on Friday. Tharoor is reportedly upset over a perceived lack of respect during Gandhi’s recent visit to Kochi, where issues around speaking order and recognition left him feeling sidelined. The four‑time MP from Thiruvananthapuram has had growing friction with the party leadership, drawing attention for comments seen as favorable to the BJP and sparking internal unease.
