Shashi Tharoor: The veteran Congress leader and four -time MP Shashi Tharoor is going through a situation of harassment about his political role these days. In the Congress, Tharoor is feeling isolated himself. After meeting Rahul Gandhi, Shashi Tharoor complained about being ignored in the party. At the same time, he exercised to know about his political role in the party, but after returning to Rahul’s depressed and empty -handed from the court of Rahul, now Tharoor has adopted a rebel attitude.
Shashi Tharoor first praised PM Modi’s visit to America and then wrote an article praising the Vijayan government of Kerala, since then Congress leaders have been on target. In such a situation, Shashi Tharoor has clearly stated that he is currently with the Congress, but if the party does not need him then he has other options. In this way, Tharoor has given a political message to the Congress high command.
Tharoor will go to the left or right
Shashi Tharoor has clearly told the party that if the Congress wants to use me, then I will be present for the party. If the party does not need them, then they also have their work to do. Tharoor said that Congress should not think that I have no other option. I have books, speeches and invitations from all over the world. In this way, he has told that he has an option to work except Congress, only after which political speculations are being made.
It has been 16 years since Shashi Tharoor, who came to politics from Diplomat, but at the moment he is being considered angry. If Shashi Tharoor leaves the Congress, then in which direction will his political path move forward, the left or right. Will go to the left party or join BJP. If you do not go with left and right, will Ghulam Nabi follow Nabi Azad’s footsteps and form their own party. Azad has left the Congress and formed his party and is active in the politics of Jammu and Kashmir.
Will Shashi Tharoor go to BJP?
Former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor had praised PM Modi’s meeting with President Trump on the country’s interest. After this, Tharoor shared his photo x with BJP leader and Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday, including Britain’s Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds. Only after this, it was said that if Shashi Tharoor leaves the Congress, then the BJP can become his next political place.
The BJP is engaged in making its political expansion in Kerala. In such a situation, BJP is looking for a face that can give political height to the party in Kerala politics. In such a situation, Shashi Tharoor can prove to be Mufid for BJP. Tharoor is not only in Indian politics but also the faces of international level. On going with BJP, Tharoor can get a chance to join power. A way can be made to become a minister in the center. Apart from this, you can become the face of BJP in Kerala politics.
There is a four-time MP from Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha seat, there is also a good support base of BJP. BJP has been second in Thiruvananthapuram seat due to the last three general elections. Tharoor may have been able to win, but BJP candidates have also managed to get more than 3 lakh votes. In 2024, Tharoor was able to win BJP candidate Rajiv Chandrashekhar by just 16,077 votes. If you go to BJP in this way, Tharoor will not have to struggle much in Thiruvananthapuram seat.
Shashi Tharoor is not ready despite all the political possibilities like becoming a face in the politics of Kerala in the politics of Kerala when going with the BJP. Tharoor has dismissed the chances of joining BJP. A major reason for this is ideological differences. BJP’s politics has been different from BJP’s hard Hindutva politics. Shashi Tharoor has been a liberal and secular politics. Tharoor has also said that I oppose communal politics and believe in economic development as well as social justice. In this way, Tharoor has dismissed the speculation of joining BJP. It is clear that Tharoor will not go to BJP.
Will Tharoor stop the left?
If Shashi Tharoor leaves the Congress, his political hideout can be a left party. This is being said that recently Tharoor praised the industrial policy of the LDF government led by Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan. Shashi Tharoor also said in his article that Kerala is in good position to lead India’s technological and industrial change. Since then, it is being said that Tharoor can leave Congress and join BJP. Left has also opened its doors to take Tharoor.
Senior CPI (M) leader Thomas Isaq said that if Shashi Tharoor leaves the Congress, he will not be alone in Kerala politics. They should clarify their political situation, but there is no problem in accepting Tharoor for CPI (M). He said that our party (Left) has already taken many Congress leaders. Also said that Tharoor has been described as a miracle to remain in the Congress for so long. It is clear from this that the Left is sitting ready for Tharoor.
There will be no ideological difficulty for Shashi Tharoor to go with the left. Kerala politics is divided into two poles, on one side there is Left -led LDF and on the other side there is a Congress -led UDF. His Kerala ideology will also be left when going to LDF and a political place can also be found in the left. The Congress will get a big political shock due to his departure in the Left, because next year there are assembly elections in Kerala. The Congress has been away from the power of Kerala for ten years and Tharoor’s popularity is fine in urban votes.
However, due to the kind of politics Shashi Tharoor does, it is not easy to fit the structure of the left. The leftist politics is shrinking day by day in the country. In going with the left, Tharoor can only get benefit in the politics of Kerala, but it will not be easy to maintain his place in national politics.
Will Tharoor walk on Azad’s path?
Shashi Tharoor leaves the Congress and both the left-rights do not move in the political direction, then he will have the third option to form his own political party like Ghulam Nabi Azad. Ever since Shashi Tharoor has stepped into politics, he is continuously winning elections. It is believed that he has a base in the urban areas of Kerala. In the Modi wave too, he has been successful in winning from a seat like Thiruvananthapuram. With this, his popularity can be understood.
About 48 percent of Kerala’s population is urban. Shashi Tharoor is considered his penetration in these areas. Seven assembly seats come under the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha seat, on which the political influence of Tharoor is quite strong. Apart from this, Kerala is about 50-60 out of 140 seats in the urban area, on which Shashi Tharoor has his influence.
Shashi Tharoor is also liked by liberal to communist and right -wing ideology. In such a situation, if Shashi Tharoor separates from the Congress and form his party, then the dream of the Congress coming to power will be crushed. Other parties can benefit from this. Apart from this, if Tharoor is successful in winning some seats, then you can also come in the role of kingmaker. There are many small parties in Kerala, whose base is on one or two seats. He is associated with LDF or UDF camp. In such a situation, it has to be seen in which direction Tharoor steps?
