Assembly elections can be held in Kerala next year i.e. 2026 April. Meanwhile, the interaction in the Kerala Congress is at its peak. The biggest thing is that if the Congress leader Shashi Tharoor looks angry, a balanced and intelligent face, then it is clear that he is not getting importance in the party. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says that he is available for the party, but if the party does not need my services, I also have an option. This statement of Tharoor shows that he has suffered something from the heart. They say that anti -Congress also vote for me. I left a comfortable life and came here. On the request of senior Congress leaders, the United Nations came to India on completion of his term. After such a statement, it is believed that he has made up his mind to leave the Congress. Obviously, this can prove to be a big setback for the Congress, but the question arises that who will benefit from the loss of Congress? It is obvious that due to this displeasure of Shashi Tharoor, more than the Left is shining in the eyes of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Let us see what is the reason that there are more rays of hope in BJP for Tharoor.
1-Congress in Kerala politics- Hindu vote and Tharoor
In Kerala politics, the Congress gets minority votes, but the support of Hindus has also been received by the Congress as compared to the Left. Those who will remember the campaign of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will remember how the Congress was avoiding such issues here, due to which they could not be proved to be friendly to Muslims. The Congress was keeping the Muslim League away from Rahul Gandhi’s rally or the CAA’s opposition, the Congress was furring here. The ruling leftist party of Kerala used to challenge the Congress as to why it is not clearing its stand on CAA. The Left Government of Kerala challenged the CAA in the Supreme Court. Chief Minister Pinarai Vijayan used to say in his meetings why the Congress -ruled states do not do this. Vijayan would remind that Rahul Gandhi never appeared to oppose the CAA law during his Nyaya Yatra. Actually, the Left wanted to prove among the Muslims that we are real friendly. The Congress was not raising the CAA issue here because it was afraid that Hindus would consider him as their opponent.
There is a crisis with BJP in Kerala that Hindu is still with the Congress instead of BJP. Obviously, BJP needs a strong face in Kerala. If a leader like Tharoor finds in Kerala, then it will be easy to bring those who have voted for the Hindu Congress to the BJP. BJP can do some big planning about Tharoor.
2-Leaders from Congress are getting attention in BJP
There was a time that leaders from Congress in the Bharatiya Janata Party did not get much attention, but now it is not the same thing. There are dozens of names like Jyotiraditya Scindia, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Ravneet Singh Bittu who have come to BJP from Congress and have become the face of the Bharatiya Janata Party. BJP has given him enough opportunity. Not only this, in today’s date, BJP has also come to Congress who has been using derogatory language for PM Narendra Modi. But now they are in BJP and many of them also have the faces of the Council of Ministers. Whereas Shashi Tharoor has never made any such thing for PM Modi that he has to be embarrassed. On the contrary, Tharoor has praised PM Modi several times. This praise has been overshadowing him.
3-Theur and Modi praise each other
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shashi Tharoor have been praising each other. Responding to the discussion on the motion of thanks for the President’s address in the budget session of Parliament, Tharoor was in a way in the filled house. The PM did not take the name of Rahul Gandhi and said that ‘some people feel that they do not seem mature until they speak foreign policy, so the foreign policy should be spoken, even if the country is lost.’ Modi says a lot further, but it is clear that I am not saying this for Shashi ji. In fact, Narendra Modi has shown such gestures many times before Shashi Tharoor, which has been showing respect for Tharoor. During his first term, Narendra Modi included the name of Shashi Tharoor in the first challenge in the first challenge. Shashi Tharoor also thanked the PM for this. Tharoor praised PM Modi not only once but many times.
After the talks of US President Donold Trump and PM Modi, Shashi Tharoor has praised Prime Minister Narendra recently, but it was not the first time. In April 2023, Shashi Tharoor praised PM Modi’s foreign policy in July 2023, the announcement of Vande India for Kerala. He had said that our relationship with Muslim countries has never been as good as right now. On International Yoga Day too, Tharoor praised PM Modi. Modi was praised by Tharoor to make G20 a topic of discussion. He had said that India performed brilliantly in the G20. The world can no longer ignore India. There is such chemistry between the two that if Tharoor comes with BJP in future, then obviously it should not be a surprising thing.
4- Tharoor neglect in Congress
Shashi Tharoor has been in politics for the last 16 years and has been with the Congress. He remained diplomat and is a Congress party MP since 2009. Tharoor held the responsibility of Minister of State for External Affairs and Minister of State for Human Resources during the second term of the UPA government. Now there are reports that the party is preventing such a senior leader from speaking in Parliament. The party is not giving them a chance to speak in Parliament on any important issue. He has been sidelined in Parliament and party committees. Obviously, any vocal personality must have been pricking such behavior. Throor has also been removed from the charge of All India Professional Congress (AIPC). While this organization is prepared by Tharoor. It is believed that Tharoor expressed his displeasure in this meeting with Rahul Gandhi. Tharoor was also ready to take over the responsibility of the Youth Congress, but Rahul Gandhi also rejected it. Behind this, it is believed that Shashi Tharoor contested the Congress President to protest against the Gandhi family’s supported candidate Mallikarjun Kharge. The Gandhi family probably did not like this step of Tharoor. Cathur is also seen advocating his candidature as the leader of the party before the 2026 assembly elections. The interview allegedly claimed that public opinion surveys by independent agencies indicate that they are ahead of others in Kerala (Congress) leadership.
