Veteran Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has left the Grand Old Party red-faced yet again. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, the former Union Minister has made controversial remarks on some senior party colleagues, including Shashi Tharoor, Jairam Ramesh and Pawan Khera. He has also said that the Congress won’t win the upcoming Assembly polls in Kerala because Congress leaders "hate each other more than they hate the Communists".
Aiyar’s bombshell has come amid an uproar over his recent praise for Kerala Chief Minister and CPM leader Pinarayi Vijayan, including a prediction that the Left veteran will continue in the top post following the upcoming polls. The Congress has distanced itself from the remarks, with party leader Pawan Khera saying that Aiyar has no connection with the Congress and speaks in his personal capacity.
Speaking to NDTV, Aiyar described Khera as a "puppet" and said he is not a party spokesman. "He has been accusing me for the past two years. If the Congress party cannot find anyone other than Pawan Khera to be its spokesman, it will be in the condition it is in," he said.
