Now only 48 hours are left for voting for Kerala Assembly elections. In the last phase of the election campaign, the round of allegations and counter-allegations has also intensified. In this series, veteran Congress leader and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor has targeted the BJP and the ruling LDF.
The level of dialogue in politics is falling – Tharoor
During this, Tharoor has also reacted to Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement about ‘illiterate people of Gujarat’. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said that the level of dialogue in politics is continuously falling. We should not level our language at the same level as those who use abusive language. Not only this, Tharoor fiercely targeted BJP. He said that there is no point in voting for BJP as there is no possibility of them coming to power. He appealed to the voters not to waste their precious votes.
‘It is difficult to open even BJP’s account’
Tharoor said that the appeals of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah will not work in Kerala. The reality is that at present there is not a single BJP MLA in the assembly. Even if they win one or two seats, it will be nothing less than a miracle. He is nowhere in the race to form the government. Tharoor warned voters that by voting for a rootless party like BJP, they would only benefit the LDF.
Allegation of ‘secret agreement’ between LDF and BJP
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said that there is actually an agreement between BJP and CPI-M. He said that CPI-M wants to defeat Congress to save power and BJP wants to stop Congress so that the opposition at the Center remains weak. He said that Congress and Left can be together on the issue of secularism, but UDF is the only option in Kerala which can give an experienced and better governance.
