Is Shashi Tharoor going to quit the Congress Party?

Shashi Tharoor, the four-time Member of Parliament from Thiruvananthapuram and a well-known Congress leader, has raised questions about his future in the party amidst growing frustration over the lack of a defined role within Congress. Tharoor, an outspoken Indian politician, hinted at exploring other political avenues if his position within the party does not change soon.

This revelation comes after his unsuccessful bid for the Congress President role, which he contested against the party’s veteran leader, Mallikarjun Kharge. Despite his loss, Tharoor has consistently expressed his desire for a more active and strategic role within the party.

In several recent discussions and media engagements, Tharoor has alluded to the possibility of reassessing his political trajectory.

His remarks reveal mounting discontent with his current position in the party, even though he has not formally announced his intention to leave the Congress.

Next step?

The development has sparked discussions within political circles, with many speculating on Tharoor’s next steps. Known for his intellectual contributions and diplomatic background, Tharoor’s exit could mark a significant shift in the party’s dynamics, especially at a time when Congress is grappling with internal challenges and leadership concerns.

Political analysts are closely watching whether Tharoor will push for a more prominent role within Congress or seek alternatives outside the party.
