New Delhi, May 9 (Inditop.com) He quit in the face of controversy, but what about others? Shashi Tharoor is apparently upset with the Congress leadership for treating Telecommunications Minister A. Raja and Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel with kid gloves and not applying the same political yardstick to them on the issue of probity in public life.

Sources said Tharoor, who had to resign as a minister in the wake of IPL Kochi row, has privately aired his distaste over what some of his friends see as double standards. While Raja faces allegations of financial wrongdoing in the allotment of 2G spectrum, Patel too has been in a spot over reports that he provided critical information relating to valuation of the IPL Kochi franchisee.

Party bosses have been taking pains to explain to Tharoor that both Raja and Patel are not from the Congress and the party has little say in deciding their fate!
