Shashi Tharoor Skips Rahul Gandhi Meet 3rd Time Amid Modi Praise Backlash

• Shashi Tharoor missed Rahul Gandhi's meeting with Congress MPs for the third consecutive time.
• Tharoor cited personal commitments (a wedding and a birthday) for his latest absence.
• He previously missed two other Congress meetings in November, citing a delayed flight and poor health.
• Tharoor has faced scrutiny for remarks perceived as supportive of PM Modi and the BJP.
• Rahul Gandhi chaired the meeting to review performance and strategize against the BJP.

Why It Matters: Tharoor's repeated absences raise questions about Congress party unity and his loyalty.
