‘He is still the member of the Congress party; the only thing which has happened is that he has been taken out from the list of spokespersons. That is all. Therefore, to us Shashi Tharoor still enjoys a high level of confidence among Congressmen,’ Singh said.
Cracking the whip on Monday, the Congress had removed Tharoor as party spokesperson which the Kerala MP had accepted as ‘loyal worker of Congress’ but suggested he did not get a chance to put his views across. Singh said Tharoor was a very eminent personality and a party MP from Kerala. ‘He is one of the most well-known writers of this country, a very well-known diplomat who has served in UN and in the international scene.’
Asked about exit polls showing defeat for Congress in both Haryana and Maharashtra Assembly polls, Singh said, ‘You will know on 19 (October), I don’t believe in exit polls.’ Singh was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an Asian Arab Chamber of Commerce event here which he inaugurated.
