Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their party's big win in West Bengal and Assam, saying they are 'very good at conducting elections'. The BJP swept the West Bengal assembly polls, winning 206 seats out of 294, ending Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress' 15-year rule.
Tharoor said the BJP has 'strong organisational strength' and that there is a lot to learn from them. He added that the party has done a good job in Bengal and Assam and that's partially because they are very good at conducting elections.
While praising the BJP, Tharoor also asked his own party, Congress, to do some 'very serious introspection' after its return to power in Kerala by upending the Left rule in the state. He said that the party needs to learn what went right in Kerala and understand how that can be replicated at other places too.
