Shashi Tharoor left Congress: Senior Congress leader and MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor’s growing dissatisfaction with the party leadership is now coming out openly. Recently, he had complained about the sidelines in the Congress and also said that if the party does not need them, then he has options. Tharoor’s statement has created a stir in political circles and speculation about his future has intensified.
Chief Minister wants to become Tharoor
Four -time Congress MP Shashi Tharoor recently publicly questioned the lack of leadership in Kerala Congress. He met the Congress high command and discussed his role, after which it began to speculate that he could separate from the party. However, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee Chairman K Sudhakaran denied the possibility and said that Tharoor will neither leave the party nor join the CPM.
Tharoor also clarified that if the Congress comes to power in the upcoming assembly elections, it will be in the race for the post of Chief Minister. He claims that he has been described as the most popular Congress leader in Kerala in various surveys. This statement is proving uncomfortable for the regional leadership of the Congress.
Dissatisfaction in Congress over Tharoor
Reacting to Tharoor’s statements, K.K. Sudhakaran warned him that it is not the right way to go out of the party line and express his views in the media. Sudhakaran said, “Tharoor has time to rectify his mistakes. It is unfortunate that the media made a statement against the party. No one should cross their limits. “
Meanwhile, Congress Working Committee member Ramesh Chennithla, citing the responsibilities given to Tharoor, said that the party has always given him important roles. Chennithla said, “Congress needs Tharoor, hence he was made MP four times, was given the post of Union Minister and included in the top bodies of the party.”
Are you getting disillusioned with Congress?
Throor’s recent statements show that they are disillusioned with the Congress. His demand for role at the national level and the desire to become the Chief Minister has created a stir in the party. Senior Congress leader K.K. Muralitharan said that Tharoor should be given the responsibility of attracting young voters to national politics, while local leaders in Kerala will work to strengthen the organization.
However, after Tharoor’s alternative statement, questions are arising whether he is moving towards a new political path or pressurizing the Congress leadership to make his role more important. It will be interesting to see how the Congress high command manages the matter in the coming days and what Tharoor decides his next step.
