New Delhi, April 18 (Inditop.cmo) Many in the Congress party are wondering if Defence Minister and senior Congress leader A.K. Antony will once more bat for his beleaguered colleague from Kerala, Shashi Tharoor.
Antony may have a major say in any decision on Tharoor’s continuation as minister of state for external affairs in the wake of the Kochi IPL franchise controversy. After all, they say, it was he who strongly supported Tharoor’s candidature from the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency last year.
The sources say Congress president Sonia Gandhi relies heavily on Antony in matters of Kerala and his views will influence the party’s course of action to wriggle out of the unsavory IPL happenings.
