It will be churlish not to acknowledge Modi: Tharoor
Tharoor told NDTV, "We have been extremely concerned about what Mr Modi represents and his aspirations and ambitions on coming to Delhi. What has been a pleasant surprise for the likes of me is the way in which he has actually conducted himself and spoken after his election. From the moment of his victory, he has been amazingly gracious and accommodating particularly in the language he has said and the tone he has used, I think it would be churlish not to acknowledge for example when he says that he would be PM for everyone, including those who have not voted for him, that he would like to serve all Indians."
Tharoor said he should not be called a "Modi fan."
The Congress MP grabbed headlines after he praised Modi recently.
In a article in the Huffington Post, titled How Narendra Modi May Have Evolved into 'Modi 2.0' , Tharoor said: "In the event, Modi overcame this negative perception, re-branding himself as an apostle of development and pointing to his successful record in Gujarat, a state of high growth rates that under his leadership has been a magnet for investors."
