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”.

While addressing a press conference from the AICC podium on Wednesday, Tharoor said that the way Modi conducted himself after the election and spoke from the moment of his victory he “has been amazingly gracious and accommodative” of even those who had not voted for him.

“We should acknowledge that this may the evolution of Modi 2.0 but if Modi 1.0 reemerges, then we will robustly oppose him,” he had said.

Yesterday, Tharoor while making it clear that he “cannot be called a fan of Modi” said that he was intrigued by the fact that the paraphrases of his piece that he has seen in the Indian media, showed that people don't actually read every word and every nuance.
