Is Tharoor Kerala’s Next CM? Congress Leader Sparks Debate with New Survey

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor recently ignited a firestorm within his own party by sharing a survey that positions him as a frontrunner for the Chief Minister position in Kerala. The move has been met with mixed reactions, ranging from excitement among his supporters to accusations of manipulation from within the Congress ranks.

Tharoor’s Growing Popularity Fuels Speculation

Tharoor’s post on X (formerly Twitter) showcased the survey results, seemingly acknowledging his increasing popularity among the Kerala electorate. This has led many to speculate about his ambitions within the often faction-ridden state Congress.

“Cooked Up” Survey Allegations Emerge

While some see the survey as a reflection of genuine grassroots support, others within the Congress party have dismissed it as “cooked up” and an attempt to artificially inflate Tharoor’s standing. This internal dissent highlights the complex political landscape within the Kerala Congress and the challenges Tharoor faces.

The controversy surrounding the survey underscores the ongoing debate about Tharoor’s role within the Congress and his potential future as a leader in Kerala. Only time will tell whether this survey is a true indicator of public sentiment or simply a political maneuver.
