400 is a pipedream for BJP: Shashi Tharoor

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. Mr. Tharoor is a Central Working Committee (CWC) member of the Congress party.
He has been locked in a tight electoral fight, bitter war of words and retaliatory legal proceedings with the BJP candidate, Rajeev Chandrasekhar. The Left’s Pannian Raveendran is the third major candidate in the fray in the Thiruvananthapuram constituency.

Tharoor has to win for the sake of Kerala. He is the best spokesman of the state

[@sayandewan2860]

The fact that he is a person who speaks well does not make him a spokesperson.

[@prakhartripathi8465]

Maybe but that doesn't mean NDA will not get 390 seats in Lok Sabha.

[@diptenbanerjee7325]

It literally means that buddy. 390 is a far fetched dream. We can no more deny that the party is corrupt. We can no more deny that the PM is a liar. We can no more deny that in the name of development, there are many many scams waiting to be unraveled, we can no more, as Hindus, say that these lampots are ding anything substantial. I have been fooled for 10 years. Ribbon cutting doesn't excite me.

[@TheConduit10]

This line of the congress , that the BJP are panicking , is odd , its as , almost as if the BJP shouldn't not be campaigning at all , and any attempts to campaign to win an election is a sign of panic . strange line of thought!
