Is Shashi Tharoor flirting with Modi government?
There’s nothing wrong in wishing or praising your prime minister on his birthday. But, it becomes talk of the town if the continuing praises emanate from a political opponent and there’s a history of mutual public mudslinging. That’s why a recent Facebook post by Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, Dr Shashi Tharoor, praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his birthday, is being discussed in Delhis political circle.
While the nation outpoured its love on social media for PM Narendra Modi on his 66th birthday on September 17, Tharoor, the once-upon-a-time poster boy of Congress, too didn’t refrain from showing his affection for Modi once again.
Tharoors facebook read: “On Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday last year, I tweeted: Happy Birthday @narendramodi. May you continue to serve India with energy & commitment. Will continue to disagree with your politics, but with respect! What surprised me was his response, barely a couple of hours later: Thank you, Dr. Tharoor. And, what is our democracy without constructive criticism! Debate makes us stronger. It is this capacity to reach out across the political divide to opponents that struck me as the most unusual personal characteristic of our Prime Minister. I had, after all, used the occasion of his birthday to remind him again of our political differences; yet he had not only taken that in his stride, but also turned it around into a positive message of conciliation and collegiality. A similar thing had happened, in fact, on the day of his election victory in 2014. It was only in the evening, as the results poured in and the size of his majority became apparent, that I issued this somewhat grudging tweet: Still touring my constituency to thank party workers, but before it’s too late, congratulations @NarendraModi & BJP on an astonishing victory. Within minutes this came back from him: ?@ShashiTharoor Many thanks. Congratulations for your victory as well. Let’s work together to create a better India! This is the spirit in which I wish Narendra Modiji a happy birthday today in 2016. Let us, Government and Opposition, work together to create a better India. When your policies are manifestly in the national interest, let us support you; and when, in our view, they are not, let us take opposition constructively, respecting each other’s sincere faith in different paths to India’s betterment. In that spirit, I wish Narendra Modiji a long, healthy and productive life in the service of our nation.” Let us hope we can continue to work in our different ways for a better India. Happy Birthday Pradhan Mantriji!
The Prime Minister was gracious enough to promptly reply on social media by saying, “Thank you so much @ShashiTharoor. Looking forward to the continued debate and discussion in the times to come.” The prolific writer, that Tharoor is, has irked many senior politicians from Congress including Sonia Gandhi. Tharoor has appreciated Modi and his governance on several occasions since Modi came into power in 2014. Often criticised for praising the PM, Tharoor insisted that he is only “pro-India” and does not support Modi or the BJP party.
A joke doing the rounds among the political circles: Tharoor, who is known for his ability to charm women, is flirting with the Modi government too!
Orators of prime quality, Modi and Tharoor have had their run-ins in the past when Narendra Modi called the latters wife (Late Sunanda Pushkar Tharoor) a ₹50-crore girlfriend, to which Tharoor responded by saying that his wife was ?priceless and worth much more than the imaginary 50 crores.

Anil Deshmukh
In a major development, Special Court granted bail to former Home Minister of Maharashtra Anil Deshmukh’s son Hrishikesh Deshmukh on Monday in an alleged money laundering case. Hrishikesh, who was arraigned as an accused in the chargesheet, was granted bail after a special court designated to hear cases related to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) recorded his appearance.
He had filed an application through his advocate Aniket Nikam after appearing before the court and requesting the same to accept his appearance and grant him bail.
Hrishikesh also pointed out that the accusations in the ED’s case were confined to the alleged acts of omission and commission by his father in his capacity as the former home minister from January 2020 to April 2021. The plea also cited that the former home minister had already been granted bail in the case by the Bombay High Court.
The court had in February this year issued summons to Hrishikesh after ED submitted its complaint (chargesheet) in the case.
Bombay High Court granted bail to NCP leader Anil Deshmukh in October this year in the same case. While Deshmukh had secured the bail in the ED case, he remains in custody in connection with the CBI case registered against him in April last year.
