Could Shashi Tharoor Be Kerala’s Next Chief Minister?

A recent survey shared by Shashi Tharoor on X (formerly Twitter) has ignited a firestorm of discussion, hinting at the possibility of him becoming the next Chief Minister of Kerala. The survey results appear to indicate a surge in Tharoor’s popularity within the state’s political landscape.

Internal Divisions Within Congress Emerge

The survey, however, hasn’t been met with universal acceptance within the Congress party. A fellow Congress leader has dismissed the survey as “cooked up,” suggesting potential internal divisions and skepticism about the results. This disagreement highlights the complex factionalism within the Kerala Congress.

Tharoor’s Growing Popularity

Despite the controversy, Tharoor’s sharing of the survey seems to be a tacit acknowledgment of his growing support base, particularly within a party often characterized by internal struggles. The incident raises intriguing questions about the future of the Congress party in Kerala and the potential role Tharoor might play.
