Shashi Tharoor condemns 'cheap politics' as row erupts over cropped images with Mahua Moitra

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has slammed the circulation of cropped images showing him with Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and called it an act of "cheap politics."

The senior Congress leader said he was being trolled by displaying the cropped version of the image taken during the function.

"My life is dedicated to the people. These types of trolls are a part of cheap politics. In my opinion, this is not a serious issue. It was her birthday party, in which around 15 people, including my sister, participated," Tharoor said.

Mahua Moitra had also reacted sharply to the images and had blamed the BJP troll sena for circulating it on social media.
"Most amused to see some personal photos of me being circulated on social media by @BJP4India's troll sena. I like green dress better on me than white blouse. And why bother cropping - show rest of the folks at dinner as well. Bengal's women live a life. Not a lie," Moitra said
