BJP's nudge nudge wink wink over Tharoor rebuke

July 23, 2015 15:33

BJP Ravishankar Prasad says, "Suna hai woh (Sonia Gandhi) apne saansad ko bahut kass kay daanti hai jo uncalled for agitation par sawaal uthaate hain. I have heard that she has roundly scolded her MP who questioned the uncalled agitation of the party in the Parliament."

This refers to reports yesterday about how Congress president Sonia Gandhi pulled up former Union minister Shashi Tharoor over the leak of his views against partys stalling tactics in Parliament in the media.

Gandhi, who generally does not get angry, literally blasted Tharoor, sources said, adding that the party chief was in no mood to listen to any explanation from him.

You always do this, its become a habit with you, an angry Sonia Gandhi reportedly said to Tharoor.

Her anger was directed at him over the fact that his opposition to disruption tactics at a strategy meeting made its way to the media.
