The Congress is raising real issues such as farmers plight, while the BJP is "seizing" on anything to promote its "polarisation agenda" as it has no achievements to show, senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said today, asserting that the saffron party's 'achche din' promise remains unfulfilled.

Claming that the government has "failed" on the foreign policy front, Tharoor in an interview to PTI said the Congress would highlight these "failures" as also the so called schemes that have remained "empty slogans" with no effect on the ground
After the attack, Tharoor at a public rally in Thiruvananthapuram had said, "Who gave them the right to decide I can't live here and must go to Pakistan? Are they saying that because I am not their kind of Hindu, I have no right to be in India? Are they starting a Taliban in Hinduism?"
Asked if the leadership issue among opposition parties would be settled after the general election depending upon the number of seats they get, Tharoor said, "Probably. Each party has its own leader. Ours is Rahul Gandhi."
