Tharoor declines NSUI offer to attend event in Gujarat

Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor

Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has declined the National Students Union of India’s (NSUI) invitation to attend a campaign event in Gujarat, saying his name does not figure in the party’s list of star campaigners. It is known that the Congress on Tuesday released the list of its 40-star campaigners for the first phase of Gujarat assembly elections, which includes party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and many other senior leaders. Tharoor’s name is not there in this.

Shashi Tharoor said that the Congress knows who and what is best for it when asked if he was disappointed that his name was not included in the list of STAR campaigners. In such a situation, there is no point in getting disappointed.
