The Congress in Kerala had attacked Tharoor for having accepted Modi’s invitation to join his Swacch Bharat campaign. As a sequel to the ongoing attack, party mouthpiece in Kerala on Tuesday indicated that the fortune hunter should be shown the door if he does not correct himself.

While reflecting the general sentiments of the Congress in Kerala, party daily Veekshanam has not mentioned the party spokesman’s name. But it has clear indications that the target of the attack is the party MP from Kerala capital.

The editorial said Narendra Modi’s American visit and cleaning drive on Gandhi Jayanti have exposed the true intention of certain foreign affairs experts. “It has to be doubted whether such persons in the crowd that is jostling to take membership in Modi fans association. It is better to have a decent exit from the home along with the paramour instead of keeping a secret relation with him through the backdoor.”
