  Color reconnection (CR) mechanism in PYTHIA model has been reported to be
essential to describe the flow-like collective effect observed in high
multiplicity $p$+$p$ and $p$+Pb collisions. In this work, we test this
mechanism towards explaining the Forward-Backward multiplicity correlation
(b$_{\mathrm {cor}}$) measurements in $p$+$p$ collisions at the LHC energies.
Out of the three different CR schemes implemented in PYTHIA, (a) MPI based CR
(default mechanism), (b) QCD based CR and (c) Gluon moved CR, we found that the
QCD based CR scheme describes relatively better the ALICE measurements of
b$_{\mathrm {cor}}$ in $p$+$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{\mathrm s}$ = 0.9 and 7
TeV. In addition, we have tuned the parameters of the default CR mechanism in
PYTHIA to describe simultaneously the measured charged particle multiplicity
pseudo-rapidity ($\eta$) distribution and b$_{\mathrm {cor}}$. We found that an
average number of multipartonic interactions ($\langle N_{\mathrm {MPI}}
\rangle$) between 2.5 to 3 and CR range between 0.9 to 2.5 best describes the
experimental data. Finally, we have presented a study using PYTHIA events for
$p$+$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{\mathrm s}$ = 7 TeV which shows that the strength
of Forward-Backward mean transverse momentum correlation (b$^{\langle
p_{\mathrm{T}}\rangle \langle p_{\mathrm{T}} \rangle}_{\rm {cor}}$) is found to
increase with CR in contrast to decrease of b$_{\rm {cor}}$ values with CR
effect. Hence, simultaneously studying the b$^{\langle p_{\mathrm{T}}\rangle
\langle p_{\mathrm{T}} \rangle}_{\rm {cor}}$ and b$_{\mathrm {\rm {cor}}}$ in
the experiments will help in establishing the arguments either in favour or in
disfavour of CR effect in the measurements.
