The Hindu  

United Democratic Front candidate Shashi Tharoor clinched victory in the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency for the fourth consecutive term, overcoming a strong challenge from Rajeev Chandrasekhar of the National Democratic Alliance.

An elated Mr. Tharoor pledged efforts to perform to the best of his ability to be worthy of the “fourth blessing” and serve the people of Thiruvananthapuram well. It is a very strong message to the BJP that a communal campaign will not go very far in Kerala.” ‘Commitment to continue’ Mr. Chandrasekhar, while expressing disappointment, said the NDA ran a “very positive campaign”, talked about the real issues faced by the people and refrained from a divisive approach in contrast to their competitors.
