Being MoS 'like standing in cemetery': Tharoor tweets 'advice'

Tharoor was the Minister of State for HRD in the Manmohan Singh Ministry

Press Trust of India New Delhi
As Narendra Modi's Council of Ministers gets ready to be sworn in, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor sought to put cold water on the enthusiasm of a host of to-be Ministers of State.

"Advice to some being sworn in today: Being MoS is like standing in a cemetery -- there's a lot of people under you but no one is listening!," Tharoor said in a tweet.

Tharoor was the Minister of State for HRD in the Manmohan Singh Ministry.

He skipped the swearing-in function as he had to leave for Stockholm on Sunday to address a programme on sustainable development.
