When Shashi Tharoor entered Indian politics a year ago, not even the fake pundits predicted that he would be out so soon. Kind of like Tendulkar being clean bowled in his first over.
The nation looked forward to the entry of this person into it's political arena. Here was a man who was a 'super diplomat', a man who was a heartbeat away from becoming the UN Secretary General.
But despite his impeccable credentials and diplomatic record, Tharoor turned out to be a major disappointment. His never-ending tweets (many times with controversial contents) showed a surprising lack of tact and diplomacy. It was really unnecessary for him to have written all these official matters in a hasty and irreverent manner.
The last straw of course being the IPL controversy which led to his resignation.
Is Tharoor out of Indian politics for good? Who knows. But what is for sure is that he needs some serious coaching on how to conduct himself as a minister. A minister is a representative of the government and as such is not supposed to air out his opinions so openly (sad, but true). But Tharoor is still an MP and maybe he could still be a better MP than he was a minister. But if it is proved that there was some corruption involved in the IPL scandal, maybe even his future as an MP could be in doubt.
