On Sunday, Tharoor while taking a dig at the BJP by using the word Anocracy. He explained that anocracy is a form of government that mixes democracy with autocratic features.
"A word we'd better start learning in India: anocracy. A form of government that mixes democratic with autocratic features, permits elections, allows participation through opposition parties and institutions accommodating nominal amounts of competition, but acts with minimal accountability," Tharoor who is a Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram said in a tweet.
Here are some of the other words that Tharoor has used:
Allodoxaphobia: Irrational fear of opinions
Pogonotrophy: Cultivation of a beard
Paraprosdokian: A figure of speech in which the latter part of the sentence is unexpected in a manner which promotes the reader to rethink the first part.
