Senior leader of Congress and Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor took a dig at BJP after RPN Singh; the star campaigner of Congress for Uttar Pradesh election joined the saffron party.


In a poetic tweet, he weaved in the words “Congress yukt BJP”, a play on PM Modi’s slogan “Congress mukt Bharat.”


He wrote, “He is leaving his home, maybe he has dreams. Now everyone there is our own.”


On a related note, Tharoor on Wednesday congratulated Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad after the latter was conferred the Padma Bhushan.

Taking a jibe at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Tharoor said, "It is good to be recognized for one's public service even by a government of the other side."

"Warm congratulations to Ghulam N Azad on his Padma Bhushan. It is good to be recognized for one's public service even by a government of the other side," Tharoor tweeted.

Lauding the senior Congress leader Azad's contribution to the causes dear to him, the Prime Minister said, "The person who will replace Ghulam Nabi ji (as Leader of Opposition) will have difficulty matching his work because he was not only concerned about his party but also about the country and the House.
