Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has sparked controversy by praising the meeting between US President Donald Trump and New York mayor Zohran Mamdani as an exemplary demonstration of democratic cooperation after fierce electoral battles. His comments, suggesting India should adopt similar post-election collaboration, have been enthusiastically endorsed by BJP representatives who interpreted it as criticism of Congress leadership's approach to political opposition. This incident highlights growing tensions within Congress as Tharoor continues expressing views that challenge party positions.
