The BJP on Monday took a swipe at the Congress after Congress leader Shashi Tharoor praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP went on to say that the Thiruvananthapuram MP has "exposed" Rahul Gandhi.

While addressing the media, Tharoor said on Monday that “Modi`s energy, dynamism and willingness to engage is a prime asset for India on the global stage but deserves greater backing,” in remarks that are likely to irk his party and widen the growing cracks in his ties with its leadership.

Moreover, Tharoor`s praise for PM Modi came at a time when the Congress has consistently been attacking the BJP-led Centre over its foreign policy, alleging that Indian diplomacy is being "shattered" and that the country stands "isolated" globally.
