Shashi Tharoor's Reply to a Twitter User:

Senior Congres leader Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday tendered his resignation to Sonia Gandhi after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. "While my aim and purpose remain the same as it has always from the very beginning, to serve the people of my state and country, I believe I am unable to do this anymore within this party," he wrote in his resignation letter to party chief.

The Kamal Nath-led Madhya Pradesh government is staring at collapse as 22 MLAs have submitted their resignations to the assembly speaker. If the resignations are accepted, the strength of Madhya Pradesh assembly will come down to 206, leaving BJP thin majority beyond halfway mark of 102 with its 107 legislators.
