Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday refused to comment on party leader Rahul Gandhi's endorsing US President Donald Trump's 'dead economy' remark about India and said the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha may have had his "own reasons" for saying so.

BJP leader Amit Malviya said that “the only thing truly 'dead' here is Rahul Gandhi's own political credibility and legacy”.
