Let us tell you that the politics of Kerala has been hot these days with Shashi Tharoor about a recent article praising the Left Front government of Kerala. However, Shashi Tharoor says that a lot of ruckus is being created in an English daily newspaper on an issue on the basis of his article. When asked about the constant criticism by Congress leaders in Kerala regarding his article, Tharoor said that he could not understand the reason for the dispute. He said, “I have no dispute with any leader of the state. If they have any issue, then let them decide whether it has been resolved or not. ” Asked if he had complained about sidelining him at the party at the state and national level, then Tharoor said, “I never made any complaint against anyone.” He said that in his article for investment-friendly policies and startup programs, the controversy over the praise of the Left Front government in Kerala did something good ‘because it created scope for discussion on the issue.
Let us tell you that all the leaders of the Congress party and the mouthpiece of the party have surrounded Shashi Tharoor badly regarding the article of Shashi Tharoor. Congress leaders were angry with the statement of Shashi Tharoor, who praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump, that Tharoor tied up the praise of the Left Front government in his article. This lost the Congress state unit and central unit leaders restraint. Kerala Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the state assembly VD Satishan has said that he wrote an article supporting the government on an issue on which we are actively arguing. Satishan said that as a member of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), advising or improving Tharoor depends on the party’s national leadership. On this issue, All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary (Organization) KC Venugopal has said that the party has spoken to Tharoor on the matter and he has told them that if the exact data on the state’s entrepreneurship development is available, then they Will reconsider his stance. Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief K.K. Sudhakaran has also said on the issue that he had spoken directly to the MP of Thiruvananthapuram and gave him “good advice”. Sudhakaran said in Kasargod, “Everyone may have personal opinion, but the party decides its official stance.”
Let us also tell you that the Congress Party mouthpiece ‘Vsaranam Daily’ in Kerala published an editorial criticizing Shashi Tharoor. They have been targeted to praise the development of entrepreneurship in the state’s left government without naming Tharoor in editorial. In the article, he was told that he should not break the expectations of thousands of party workers before the upcoming local body elections. The editorial written in strict words stated that there is an anti -incumbency wave in the state and the attempt to suppress it by those responsible for promoting it is a ‘distorted’ political conduct.
The editorial warns that if the Congress -led UDF failed to win the local body elections despite favorable conditions, it would be a major setback for the opposition front. The editorial published under the ‘Non -Violence Award for the Excise’ further argued that when the Congress is actively opposing the shortcomings of the LDF government inside and outside the assembly, weakening the party from inside will be ‘suicidal’. The article alleged that the ruling CPI (M) had made Kerala the ‘cemetery’ of industries. It further wrote that it is ridiculous to citing the Left Government in the name of industrial development. It states that the state has seen the development of modern and important industrial establishments during the rule of former Chief Ministers like R Shankar, C Achyut Menon, K Karunakaran, AK Antony and Oom Chandy. The mouthpiece also criticized Tharoor’s positive statement about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to America. It was written that Modi’s embrace of President Donald Trump and receiving assurance in business-singing treaties is not a ‘great thing’. The editorial has described this incident as a move to brighten their image of the two leaders.
On the other hand, in its article, the CPI (M) has welcomed him to praise the Left Front government in Kerala and praised the startup programs. After the Congress raised questions on the basis of Tharoor’s article, the CPI (M) has defended him, saying that Tharoor has only told the facts. However, it has to be seen that Shashi Tharoor, who is feeling isolated himself, changes his life? If this happens, it can be a big shock for the Congress in Kerala.
