The BJP intensified its criticism of Rahul Gandhi after Congress MP Shashi Tharoor backed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his discussions with US President Donald Trump during the G7 Summit. Tharoor said PM Modi had clearly conveyed India's concerns regarding the safety of commercial sailors affected by regional conflicts. Seizing on Tharoor's remarks, BJP leaders claimed they exposed Rahul Gandhi's criticism of the government over the issue. The exchange has added to political tensions between the ruling party and the Congress over India's diplomatic approach and foreign policy. (PC: NDTV)
