The former Union minister minced no words when he said: "We must have the courage of our convictions. We could have been more vocal on the Bilkis Bano outrage, the attacks on Christian churches, murder in the name of cow vigilantism, bulldozer demolition of Muslim homes and similar issues." Tharoor said that the Congress should outline the elements of a progressive economic agenda that addresses head on the challenge of unacceptable economic inequality. Like his colleagues, Tharoor also raised the need to launch a direct assault on "rampant crony capitalism", which he said is "concentrating wealth in the hands of a few friends of the ruling regime and is damaging the economy, leading to massive problems of rising unemployment and diminished futures for young Indians".
