Will rift widen between Shashi Tharoor and Kerala Cong?

Tensions appear to be growing between Shashi Tharoor and the Kerala Congress. Tharoor has alleged that he wasn’t invited to campaign for the recent Nilambur assembly by-poll. He also admitted to having differences with some party leaders, suggesting this may be why he was excluded. However, Kerala Congress chief Sunny Joseph refuted the claim, stating that Tharoor was listed as a star campaigner and officially informed, but did not turn up. Following these developments it remains to be seen if the rift between Shashi Tharoor and Kerala Congress widens?
