Congress leader Shashi Tharoor’s article criticising dynasty politics in India has found support from his party’s arch-rival, the BJP. The article wherein the Congress MP terms dynastic politics as a “grave threat to Indian democracy” has been lauded by BJP leader and party spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla.

The BJP leader, who switched to the saffron party from the Congress in 2017, after dubbing Congress’ organisational polls as “sham”, hailed Tharoor as “Khatron ke Khiladi” or one who plays with danger.
