Mantri-ji, Ahankaar Chhodo, Maafi Maango: Shashi Tharoor to Scindia on 'esoteric thesaurus' barb
Shashi Tharoor has continued his ongoing fight with the Civil Aviation Minister by demanding Jyotiraditya M. Scindia to drop his ego and seek an apology from the public concerning the flight crisis at the Delhi airport.

In reply to this tweet, Tharoor said «Why wasn’t maintenance started earlier, so it could be completed before the beginning
