Sitting Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor is locked in a tough, three-way battle with the BJP and CPI as he seeks re-election for a fourth term from the seat. In an exclusive conversation with CNN-News18, Tharoor criticised Prime Minister Modi for his recent remarks on 'wealth redistribution', calling it blatantly communal. Calling the speech polarising and unbecoming of a Prime Minister, Tharoor clarified that Congress has made no mention of redistributing wealth to Muslims in their manifesto. On the other hand, Chandrasekhar has had a successful stint as the Minister of State for IT and Skill Development since July 2021. He has a convincing grip on the corporate sector. In a personal capacity, Chandrasekhar has been a technology entrepreneur engaged in the semiconductor manufacturing sector. #LokSabhaElections2024 #LokSabhaPolls2024 #LokSabhaElections2024 #UnionMinister #RajeevChandrasekhar #AffidavitRow #Congress #ShashiTharoor #news18 n18oc_politics
