Shashi Tharoor interview | ‘Only guarantee we have got from Modi is that his promises will all be broken’

The Hindu  

Shashi Tharoor, writer, former United Nations diplomat and sitting MP from Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency, is seeking a fourth term in the Lower House from Thiruvananthapuram in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Even if you take 50% of the 2019 seats, that’s nine seats more than we had won last time because the BJP is losing. In fact, the BJP’s record in Kerala is particularly embarrassing because they made three Kerala-specific promises only in these 10 years. If you look at the freezing of the Congress’s bank accounts, if they really think that freezing a few hundred crores of rupees is going to win them the election, they’ve got nothing coming. I think it should help the Congress in Kerala and neighbouring States because I’ve heard people say that if INDIA alliance wins, Kerala will have a Prime Minister.
