On Saturday, ahead of the CWC meeting, Singh had stirred a controversy by praising RSS-BJP’s organisational power as he shared Narendra Modi’s old picture on X: “I found this picture on Quora. It is very impressive. In what way did a grassroots swayamsevak of RSS and worker of Jan Sangh who sat on the floor at the feet of others became a CM and PM. This is the power of organisation.” On the sidelines of Congress’s 140th foundation day celebrations, Tharoor said, “Even I want our organisation to strengthen. Also, there should be discipline in our organisation.”On X, Tharoor, who was seen seated next to Singh at the event, said, “Since its first session in 1885, the party has remained a cornerstone of the nation’s democratic journey and political evolution. The occasion was marked with solemnity and camaraderie at Indira Bhawan today.”During the day, Singh said he has already stated whatever he had to say, and categorically assured that Congress was “united”. He targeted BJP for attempting to “sow discord” within the “Nehru-Gandhi family”. “I have basic differences and am opposed to their ideology (BJP-RSS). I have and will continue to fight against such people,” Singh said. On his Saturday’s remarks, he said, “Every organisation needs strengthening. Rahul Gandhi has started this initiative (of strengthening the organisation) from districts level and below. The process for that is underway and it will be completed soon.”Meanwhile, Congress’ Salman Khurshid said, “We have a lot in the party… and others should learn from it. We certainly don’t need to learn from RSS as we oppose that ideology.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosOwaisi Urges Protection of Bangladesh Minorities Ahead of February Polls‘Love Jihad Claim False’: UP Woman Speaks Out After Bajrang Dal Crashes BirthdayUnnao Rape Case: Activists Protest Outside Delhi High Court Over Sengar BailShashi Tharoor Responds To Digvijaya Singh, Says Congress Needs Discipline, Not Lessons From RSSPakistan FM Says Islamabad Will Proactively Rebuild Relations With Bangladesh Post PollsHadi Killing: Dhaka Police Say Main Accused Escaped to India via MeghalayaPakistan FM Ishaq Dar Admits India Hit Nur Khan Air Base In Operation Sindoor Strikes‘Advised Me To Hide In Bunker’: Pak President Zardari On Op Sindoor, Responds To PM Modi’s WarningIndian Army Intensifies Anti-Terror Ops In J&K To Flush Out Pak Terrorists Amid Chillai KalanBJP Hails Shashi Tharoor’s Remarks On India’s Foreign Policy, Congress Hits Back123PhotostoriesHow to use AI to create romantic couple poses and pictures: 5 effective prompts5 Bangkok facts you probably didn’t knowTV soaps that went off air in 2025: ‘Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4’ to ‘Suman Indori’Is foul-smelling poop a symptom of cancer?TV celebrities who passed away in 2025: From Satish Shah to Achyut PotdarBloating vs belly fat: Easy signs that tell the difference and why it matters10 rice dishes from around the worldAntibiotic resistance: Why common infections are getting harder to treatThalapathy Vijay fitness secrets: How simple workouts and balanced food keep him fit at 516 strange and haunting lines from books and classics123Hot PicksKuwait NYEPAN-Aadhaar linkingJeffrey EpsteinGold rate todayIncome Tax RefundIndian Railways fareBank Holidays DecemberTop TrendingFrank Lampard and Christine Lampard Net WorthJordan Spieth Net WorthJake Paul and Jutta Net WorthBode Miller Net WorthTravis KelceWayne GretzkyPatrick MahomesNavjot Singh SidhuChloe KimNew York Yankees
