We have nothing but love for Gujarat’: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor
Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday responded with a message of “love” a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged the party had “special hatred” for Gujarat and denied the people of the state their due.
“My son has just married a Gujarati, Narendra Modi ji. We have nothing but love for your state and its people,” Tharoor said in a tweet.

Tharoor’s son Ishaan, a foreign affairs witer at the Washington Post, recently tied the knot with fellow journalist Bhumika Dave in the US.
The Congress MP’s riposte came in response to the fierce salvos directed against his party by PM Modi at a saffron rally in poll-bound Gujarat.
Accusing the Congress of being anti-Gujarat, the Prime Minister claimed the party had done nothing for the state’s development in the last 70 years and had also slighted prominent Gujarati leaders.
