The External Affairs Minister Mr. Shashi Tharoor may be in news for all wrong reasons, but he has managed to get an appreciation from the AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi.

When the entire Congress working committee has stood against Tharoor, Rahul Gandhi seems to be standing with the Thiruvananthapuram MP. He has said that Mr. Tharoor is still a possible asset for the party as well as for the country.

Shashi Tharoor has been in media from the day he took charge of the Ministry. When the country was dealing with serious economic crisis and global slow down, the minister was wasting the county's money in seven star hotels.

While UPA President Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and the Finance Minster Mr. Pranab Mukerjee have decided to go for an economy class journey for cost cutting, Tharoor was busy in Twitter saying it's the cattle class. Then he commented on Nehru's foreign policies. But most recently, he had to step down from the ministry due to his involvement in the Kochi franchise of the IPL.

However, Rahul Gandhi has still faith on this diplomat-turned-politician.
