Bharatiya Janata Party leaders on Sunday slammed Congress leader Shashi Tharoor over his post on Uttar Pradesh and said the post of the Thiruvananthapuram MP demonstrates "shameless crass politics of shaming fellow Indians".

This comes after Congress leader Shashi Tharoor shared an image on X that had a question and an answer. The question in Hindi was, "What is called Uttar Pradesh?" The answer was: "Weh pradesh jahan pariksha se pehle uttar ka pata chal jaaye, usse Uttar Pradesh kehte hai (The state where the answer is known before the exam is called Uttar Pradesh)."
