Tharoor was inaugurating a new office of a US-based Silicon Valley company at Technopark Phase 3 in the city when he commented that either the Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge or Rahul Gandhi could become Prime Minister from the grand old party as one hails from a particular family while the other have that family’s blessings.
Tharoor’s comments gained significance on the grounds that Rahul Gandhi made an effort to distance himself from the dynastic politics issue while interacting with mediapersons in Aizawl, Mizoram today.
