Beleaguered Minister for State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor on Thursday met Congress President Sonia Gandhi amidst indications that he may get a reprieve at least, for the time being.
Tharoor, battling allegations that he had misused authority to help his friend Sunanda Pushkar to get ‘free’ equity of the value of Rs 70 crore in IPL Kochi franchise, had a “brief” meeting with Gandhi.
There was no official word on the meeting but the minister is understood to have explained his side of the version of the whole controversy in his first meeting with the party chief since the row broke out.
Party sources said that Tharoor may get a respite in the matter, at least for the time being, in the backdrop of accusations that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi had got together to take the Kochi bid away to Ahemdabad.
