"When this little business (Modi's attack on his wife) happened, I was gratified by the enormous number...Large number of BJP people including some former ministers reached out to me to say how much they regretted the deplorable conduct of one of their own, which they would not say publicly," Tharoor told in a TV interview. Speaking at an election rally in Shimla last month, Modi had taken potshots at Tharoor's personal life, saying his wife Sunanda Pushkar was once his ‘Rs 50 crore girlfriend’.
