Congress Working Committee member Shashi Tharoor has criticized the circulation of cropped images showing him with Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, calling it “cheap politics.” Tharoor clarified that he was present at Moitra’s birthday party with around 15 people, including his sister. He said the cropped version of the image was being used to troll him. Tharoor dismissed the trolls and stated that he is focused on working for the people. Moitra also responded to the photos being circulated, stating that she was amused and urging for the full image to be shown.
