In his address to an audience at the Bengaluru Literature Festival, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, “Modi is like a scorpion sitting on a Shivling, you can't remove him with your hand & you cannot hit it with a chappal either”.
According to The Indian Express, Tharoor was quoting an unnamed Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) source to compare Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a “scorpion sitting on a Shivling”.
“Tharoor is in Bengaluru to promote his new book ‘The Paradoxical Prime Minister’, which was recently launched by former PM Manmohan Singh.”, reported The Indian Express.
