Shashi Tharoor launched a scathing attack on the minister's statement that China is a "big economy"

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor today suggested that the party needs to be "absolutely clear" about its ideology if it has to take on the BJP in full force. He made this remark in a big meeting of the Congress in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh. All prominent Congress leaders, including the Gandhi family, attended the plenary session of the party. Shashi Tharoor said, "We should be very clear about our ideology about inclusive India." "We could have been more vocal on the release of the Bilkis Bano rape case convicts and cow vigilantes," he said.

Tharoor alleged, "crony capitalism on a large scale is piling up wealth in the hands of a few who are friends of the ruling dispensation..." Shashi Tharoor said, "We want economic development and ensure that it reaches the marginalised. reach. We should uplift the poor.It is surprising to hear the foreign minister say that China is very rich." He said, "The future of India is bright as long as the Congress fights the good fight. Let's send a message from here."

S Jaishankar had answered a question on ANI editor Smita Prakash's show, "They are big economies. What am I going to do? As a small economy I am going to fight with a big economy? This It is not a question of reacting, it is a question of common sense. Second thing, please keep one thing in mind, we had an agreement that they will not bring army in large numbers to the border. So that argument of yours makes me Should we break the pact first?" Sonia Gandhi also had a speech at the Congress convention today, in which she hinted at her retirement from politics, saying she was happy that her "innings could end with the Bharat Jodo Yatra." He described it as "a turning point" for the party.
