"Check out #PopularFiction in India these days!" Tharoor tweeted along with the picture. The book authored by Priyam Gandhi-Mody has Prime Minister Narendra Modi on its cover page and gives an account of the central government's response to the Covid-19. Tharoor also took a swipe at the government by comparing the prices of food items during the current NDA rule and the UPA era. "One more difference between the UPA era & the NDA: you feel it daily!" Tharoor tweeted with the hashtag inflation. He shared a list of food items such as rice, wheat, sugar, tomato and onion with their prices in 2014 and 2022.
