New Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Thursday sought to put to rest speculation about an internal rift within the party after meeting Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi in the national capital. “We had a discussion with my two party leaders, the Leader of the Opposition and the Congress president. Reiterating his commitment to the party, Tharoor said he has consistently campaigned for the Congress. Later, Tharoor took to X to thank Kharge and Gandhi for what he termed a “warm and constructive discussion,” sharing a photograph from the meeting. Speculation about differences had intensified after Tharoor skipped a key party meeting in Delhi earlier this week, citing a prior commitment at the Kerala Literature Festival.
