In a fresh interview from London, Lalit Modi revisited one of the IPL's biggest controversies, detailing his objections to Kochi Tuskers Kerala's ownership structure and the fallout that followed.
Fresh comments by Lalit Modi have brought the Kochi IPL franchise controversy back into focus, with the former IPL chief recounting his objections to the consortium's ownership structure.
Tharoor said that such movements serve like the valves on a pressure cooker, letting off steam. "If the valves were closed, the cooker would explode under the pressure."
Shashi Tharoor’s absence from V.D. Satheesan’s swearing-in has triggered fresh political discussion after his cryptic “future in Kerala” remark on social media.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor met his party chief, Mallikarjun Kharge, on Friday to share his impressions of the situation in Kerala and discuss recent political developments within the party.
Tharoor asserted that he too wants the grand old party to strengthen itself.
Tharoor said that the proposal requiring states to bear 40 per cent of wages would eventually lead to an increase in unemployment.
Tharoor said that the concepts of Gram Swaraj and Ram Rajya were the twin pillars of Mahatma Gandhi's conscience.
The Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram, who has drawn criticism from party colleagues on several occasions for statements favouring Prime Minister Narendra Modi, called it “irresponsible” of the organisers to announce his name without his consent.
Tharoor added that if the central government introduces a scheme with conditions that it would provide money to the state only if a certain work is done, then he (Shashi Tharoor) "will discuss" it with the Centre.
