Shashi Tharoor commented on the post

As long as the social media users used the post of Baijayant Panda, Shashi Tharoor reacted on it. Giving clarification on his post, the Congress MP wrote, ‘Only fellow passengers up to Bhubaneswar! I am addressing the Kalinga Literature Festival tomorrow morning and coming back immediately !! ‘

KLF started in Bhubaneswar from March 21
Kalinga Literature Festival (KLF) is a very popular Litfest of Odisha. Its 11th edition has started from 21 March in Bhubaneswar, which will run for three days. The festival will include more than 400 writers, intellectuals and thinkers from all over the world. Shashi Tharoor has reached Bhubaneswar to join it.

Tharoor shared photo with Piyush Goyal

A photo of Shashi Tharoor recently went viral with BJP leader and Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal. In this photo, Tharoor was accompanied by Goyal and Britain’s Business Minister Jonathan Reynolds. The Congress MP shared this photo while welcoming the ongoing conversation about India-Britain Free Trade Agreement. However, whenever he praises the central government or shares a photo with a BJP leader, then there is speculation to leave the Congress and join the BJP.
