Don't jump to conclusions on Narendra Modi: Digvijay tells Shashi Tharoor

New Delhi: Congress spokesperson Shashi Tharoor, who has come under fire from party leaders for praising Narendra Modi, today got a piece of advice from party general secretary Digvijay Singh “not to jump to conclusions”.

Tharoor, tweeted last night “I stand by every 1of my criticisms of @narendramodi in the past just as I appreciate his words in the present. Will watch his future actions.”

In another tweet, he also said, “Indian liberals should understand we can only win on the quality of our arguments, not the intensity of our anger.

Our virtue isn't self-evident.” Earlier, in a US news website, Tharoor remarked that Modi was looking to turn himself from a “hate figure into an avatar of modernity and progress”.
