Congress leader warns party: Avoid statements that benefit BJP after Tharoor's controversial remarks
Senior Congress leader KC Venugopal urged party members to be cautious with their comments, particularly after MP Shashi Tharoor's controversial remarks comparing Rahul Gandhi's student protests to those of the "Cockroach Janata Party." Venugopal said he did not believe Tharoor made these remarks intentionally. The protests, which began on June 17 in Kota and aimed at addressing students' issues, saw genuine Gen Z participation. Congress leaders must avoid statements that could benefit BJP, Venugopal stressed.
