New Dehli- Congress MP Shashi Tharoor humorously critiqued his party's decision to field Jaipur Dialogues director Sunil Sharma for the Lok Sabha seat in Jaipur. Tharoor's remark, suggesting Sharma experienced a 'Pauline epiphany' on his political journey, was a reference to a sudden and significant transformation akin to the biblical story of Paul the Apostle. This comment was part of a series of tweets where Tharoor highlighted past criticisms from Sharma's handle directed at him.
The digital platform, known for its sharp commentary, had previously likened Tharoor to Rahul Gandhi, albeit with a more extensive vocabulary, in a tweet from January 2021. Sharma, following his nomination, shared with ANI his commitment to addressing the 'painful' situation in Jaipur and the local populace's desire for change.
The Jaipur Dialogues, established in 2016 and led by Sanjay Dixit, has evolved from a physical symposium to a prominent online forum. It delves into a myriad of topics such as politics, governance, national security, and social issues, striving to foster a space for intellectual debate and a multiplicity of viewpoints.
