Congress’s Kerala unit is outraged over party MP Shashi Tharoor’s remarks in support of Chief Minister and Left leader Pinarayi Vijayan. Congress state president K Sudhakaran has said that the party will talk to the MP about his remarks. Tharoor said during the inauguration of a mall in his Lok Sabha constituency Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday, “When I am saying a good word for the Chief Minister’s efforts to bring development, there is no need to see politics in it. I stand for development.”
When MPs from the opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) signed a letter against the Silver Line project (semi-high-speed rail project between Thiruvananthapuram and Kasaragod), Tharoor had sought additional time to look into the project. The MLA had said that by not signing the joint memorandum, he was not supporting the project, but was trying to study the matter further.
Tharoor urged the state government to consider setting up a forum in which government representatives, technical and administrative project heads of K-Rail, elected representatives as well as local stakeholders can come together and address each of the above concerns openly and thoughtfully. can do
Against this background, Tharoor’s remarks sparked controversy and the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president was reacting to it.
He said, ‘The party will ask Shashi Tharoor. Without asking them, it is not right to give feedback on that.” Convinced. He is someone who accepts the party. Based on just one statement, we cannot assess someone like Tharoor.”
Sudhakaran also said that there was nothing wrong in supporting the Chief Minister in the matter of development.
Meanwhile, former KPCC president Mullapally Ramachandran has said that the party high command should immediately intervene in the matter, citing the Silver Line issue.
“Shashi Tharoor is an MP who lives on a Congress ticket, so basically he is a Congressman,” he said. “Most of the lawmakers have taken a stand against the Silver Line project. They said that they need to study more. Even the young children of the state have understood its implications. They called this one to help the government. Took a stand.”
