BJP leader and Telangana High Court advocate Karuna Sagar has strongly criticised Congress leader Pawan Khera over his remarks targeting senior Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. Sagar stated that Khera's comments were not merely directed at an individual leader but reflected what he described as the Congress party's inability to acknowledge India's achievements when they are associated with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
BJP Defends Tharoor's Statements
Defending Tharoor, Sagar said the Congress MP had only referred to facts and reports already available in the public domain. He argued that the larger issue was whether Congress leaders were willing to listen to the message delivered by voters through repeated electoral mandates. Sagar further asserted that national achievements should be celebrated rather than turned into political controversies.
Political Sparring Intensifies
The exchange has added a new dimension to the political sparring between the BJP and Congress, with both sides trading barbs over nationalism, governance and the recognition of India's accomplishments on the global stage. Sagar's remarks come amid an ongoing debate within political circles over Tharoor's observations and the reactions they have generated within the Congress party.
According to Sagar, the Congress party's inability to accept India's progress under PM Modi is a recurring theme, and Khera's comments are a clear example of this. He emphasized that the BJP will continue to defend leaders like Tharoor who speak based on facts, while calling out the Congress for its negative approach.
