The MP posted on Facebook an image of the press conference addressed by the Kerala Congress leaders just after their meeting with party leaders in Delhi held on February 28. Said Gandhi, "They stand as one, united by the light of purpose ahead," with hashtag Team Kerala.

The Congress leadership were already said to have issued strict admonitions against the members of the party voicing contrary statements to those of the party and had also deliberated upon strategies for the State Assembly elections in 2026.

The meeting included Tharoor, Gandhi, president Mallikarjun Kharge, general secretary K C Venugopal, Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Kerala unit chief K Sudhakaran, Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader in Kerala Assembly VD Satheesan, and Kerala in charge Deepa Dasmunshi.

Recent comments by Tharoor including praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and hinting that he might have to look for other options if Congress no longer valued his input have raised quite a bit of interest. Earlier in the month, Tharoor had also praised the Pinarayi Vijayan-led Left government in Kerala for being very business-friendly, something that has had eyebrows raised in Congress.

He also hailed Modi's so-called sabotaging of a trip to Washington in January and meeting with President Donald Trump.

Tharoor's alleged irritability over having been ignored occasioned further private talks between him and Rahul Gandhi, in New Delhi, a week ago.
