Cherthala :Shashi Tharoor is an opponent of the backward class – something that he proved while contesting for AICC President post, said SNDP Yogam General Secretary Vellappally Natesan, speaking to the media.
When Sukumaan Nair described him as “Tharavadi Nair(well-off family Nair”, Shashi Tharoor only listened without uttering a word. With that his political fate was sealed. , said Natesan.
One cannot win in Kerala by being member of some communal organization. All six Congress aspirants for the post of Chief Minister belong to the same community. After R Shankar, Congress has not been willing to have a backward class person as Chief Minster, at least till now, said Natesan.
MPs who say they are ionly nterested in Assembly polls and won't contest Lok Sabha elections, have vested interest to serve. In a way, they admit to wanting just Modi as the PM, said Natesan, adding that, there is no scope for Congress in Kerala anymore.
