New Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who has of late been under fire for praising the Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising speculation of his joining the BJP. Putting to rest all such speculations, Modi yesterday made it clear that he would not be going anywhere.
Speaking to an English News Channel, he said there was no need for any leadership change in the Congress and that the Gandhis will always be number one. He rubbished talks over the need for a leadership change in the party but added that the party is doing a thorough analysis over what went wrong in the elections.
"The Gandhi name is an asset to far more voters then those who consider its liability. I accept that in a democracy like ours there will always be. The analysis is going on but the conclusions have not arrived but I think that we are by large very content with the leadership," he said.
“Mr Modi won 31 per cent of the vote. There are clearly 69 per cent who don't think Mr Modi is that great. Similarly, we know that there are people who don't like the Gandhi's," said Tharoor.
