He also endorsed the statements of senior party men Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Jairam Ramesh where they had added that "demonising" the Prime Minister is "wrong". "As you know, I have argued for six years now that @narendramodi should be praised whenever he says or does the right thing, which would add credibility to our criticisms whenever he errs. I welcome others in Oppn coming around to a view for which I was excoriated at the time!" Shashi Tharoor had tweeted.
