Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is optimistic when it comes to opposition unity against Narendra Modi-government in the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Tharoor, who was speaking at the launch of his book 'Pride, Prejudice and Punditry', said "In politics even one week is a very long time. So there is still two and a half years to go for the next Lok Sabha poll. We are hopeful that those who are speaking in different voices will come together to defeat BJP."

Previously, several opposition parties, including TMC have attacked Congress for its failure to put up a fight against the BJP.
The Congress leader also mocked the NDA government at the Centre over its decision to observe Good Governance Week.
"My big problem with this government is that there is no good governance for 52 weeks of the year. So having good governance for just one week may not be enough," he said.
The Centre will launch a nationwide campaign on Monday for redressal of public grievances and improvising service delivery, especially in rural areas as part of the Good Governance Week.
A series of programmes are planned by the ministry of personnel, public grievances and pensions during the week to be observed during December 20-25.
