Reacting to PM Modi’s stern comments that Congress was against ‘Gujarat and Gujaratis’, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor had a message of ‘love’ for PM Modi. Taking to Twitter, the Congress MP said that that his son Ishan Tharoor was marrying a Gujarati and they had ‘nothing but love your state and its people’.
Ishaan Tharoor, a foreign affairs writer at the Washington Post, recently tied the knot with fellow journalist Bhumika Dave.
My son has just married a Gujarati, @narendramodi ji. We have nothing but love for your state &its people.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had excoriated the Congress and the Nehru-Gandhi family, accusing it of disliking Gujarat and Gujaratis who were an "eyesore" for them.
Invoking tall leaders from the poll-bound state like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Morarji Desai, the prime minister accused the "Congress and the family" of slighting them.
He also alleged a "conspiracy" was hatched by the Congress to put him in jail, in an apparent reference to accusations of his complicity in the 2002 post-Godhra riots.
Accusing the main opposition party of pursuing "negative politics", Modi dared the Congress to fight the upcoming Gujarat Assembly polls on the development plank.
"Gujarat polls are round the corner and the Congress has developed fever once again. Gujarat has been an eyesore for the party and the family. I won't repeat what they did to Sardar Patel, his daughter Maniben, and Morarji Desai.
"They did not speak about the work of Morarji Desai or his dedication and commitment to Mahatma Gandhi's ideals. They instead chose to talk about what he ate and drank," Modi told a massive BJP rally at Bhat village near Gandhinagar, referring to the former prime minister's fondness of urine therapy.
