Tharoor Denies Joining CPI-M Amid Speculation

Tharoor Denies Joining CPI-M Amid Speculation

There are rumors that Shashi Tharoor, a Congress MP, might join the CPI-M.

Tharoor was upset because Congress leader Rahul Gandhi did not acknowledge him properly at a recent event in Kochi.

When asked about these rumors, Tharoor said he saw the reports but did not want to comment while he was in a foreign country.

The CPI-M said these rumors are not true and that Tharoor is still a Congress leader.

The Congress party also said Tharoor is a senior leader and any issues he has will be resolved.

The CPI-M said they would accept Tharoor if he agreed with their politics, but they do not think he will join.

The Congress party leader said he did not know about any problems Tharoor had caused.
