Shashi Tharoor Sunanda Pushkar Controversy

Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor affair with Sunanda Pushkar, who is one of the shareholder of IPL Kochi team. In April 2010, Indian Premiere League (IPL) chief Lalit Modi published the shareholders details of Kochi-IPL team's franchise owners, Rendezvous Sports World (RSW) group in his Twitter Page. Modi mentioned that he was asked by an influential Union Minister to not get into details of Sunanda Pushkar who was given a free equity of approximately 18 per cent(worth approx Rs 70 crore) in RSW.

In an official statement, Tharoor denied having made any financial gains from the sale or having pressured Modi in any way. He further accused Modi of trying to delay and discredit the new owners so that the franchise can be re-awarded elsewhere. RSW protested Modi's breach of confidentiality agreement. Sunanda Pushkar also issued a statement denying being a proxy for Tharoor. Shashi Tharoor with Sunanda Pushkar Affair Photos Here.
