In one of his most extensive interviews till date, Shashi Tharoor speaks to The Deshbhakt for close to an hour on a wide range of issues. From Narendra Modi insulting sanskriti – buy dragging Rajiv Gandhi’s name into the election slugfest - to how the Sabrimala issue cannot be looked at only with the lens of Civil Law. While the Indian National Congress did take time to bounce back from the 2014 debacle, Tharoor says that the party and Rahul Gandhi has done a lot of good work in terms of leadership and communication. He believes that given the inputs from the first few rounds of polling - the BJP is going to be history on the 23rd of May. Tharoor also takes some tough punches on Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, nepotism in the Congress and the Sunanda Pushkar case that the police is dragging its feet on. He also makes a strong point on how Hindutva needs to be seen as the opposite of the Hindu religion - and nothing more than a political ideology.
