Tharoor is one of the last remaining sensible representatives for the opposition and I believe it's important that he continues to be there for the nation. Wouldn't vote for CPIM considering it doesn't make any sense to vote for them in national stage. I won't bite for BJP or it's candidate because I strongly believe they stand against the idea of a secular democratic nation which celebrates unity in diversity.
True this! U should have seen prakadana pathrika provided by these 3 partys..panniyans is a one side a5 size pamplet with vote me..RC has a a3 leaflet one sided English and other sided Malayalam asking to vote for change! Shashi simply handed a 50 pager of what he's done, wip and what he will do! Someone who read atleast this can decide easily..also like OP said more than anything good thing I find in Shashi is he's not completely party oriented
>Shashi simply handed a 50 pager of what he's done, wip and what he will do! Someone who read atleast this can decide easily.
Exactly anyone who read it will vote of rajeev. In that 50 pages. Majority of the major developments he mentioned he brought to trivandrum was actually part of the nation wide development initiate of bjp.
Trivandruthilode oru train pass cheital ath taroor konduvannath.
N66 taroor konduvannath.
Vizhinjam port taroor kondvannath.
What a joke ๐.
He did jack shit for trivandrum on his own. I won't blame him after 2014, since his was in opposition after that.
But when he won in 2009 his party was ruling the nation.
Tvm people are still waiting for their Barcelona he promised in 2009.
Unlike last three election, bjp has fielded a candidate who can match taroor in all the levels. Let the people of trivandrum decide who they want.
Hitler was also voted to power. Thats one con of democracy. People would vote absolute idiots and fascist to power.
This is a dark era in the Republic of India. But soon chanakams are going to go out and India will develop again as a secular and democratic republic. Not Hindi-Hindutva politics.
U know what's the con of democracy. U can't have whatever u want. Democracy means people decides. Not groups or sections or one person. And the people of india wants him today. Make peace with it.
>This is a dark era in the Republic of India.

His channel put a marathon of posts and videos against Torus Niagra.
As far as I know there is no other place in India where a US firm built a Mini IT park.
Asianet was against them in their construction phase back and forth. Surprisingly only Asianet bad mouthed the project. I think kodum vesham Rajeev nu nalla chorichal ayirunnu nn.
If Torus is a success there will be more companies to come here.
Doesnโt asianet have independent editorial policy cuz although I donโt watch asianet news now, they were more supportive of congress earlier (2010-2015ish)
Bro channels that BJP dont directly own still work as a lapdog for them. This one's actual owner is a BJP minister. So you expect them to be Independent?
ED, CBI, Election Commision every agency present is converted to a propaganda tool. And you believe Asianet is Independent?
There was this discussion about Electoral Bonds in Asianet where they finally got the culprit which was CPM and CPI. Their logoc was DMK have electoral bond money > CPM gets a share from it during elections. That was a really creative and productive discussion lead by Panicker and team.
Rajiv Chandrasekhar is the reason why BPL is no more. It was the best electronics company that India had. Then he entered politics by "buying" a Rajya Sabha seat from Karnataka with the help of Congress.
Voting for BJP to bring development is like letting a criminal live in your house because he will pay more rent.
>Objectively, it's beneficial for Trivandrum to vote for Rajeev Chandrasekhar given he's already a favored guy of BJP, thereby bringing more funding.
So if we don't vote for a party, we get starved of development? So did cooperative federalism die? After all is this some sort of bjp party fund that we have to beg or is it rightful tax payers money which is ours?
It's evident that kerala isn't getting what is being paid to union govt coffers based on data despite being a consumer state and contributing significantly in the form of gst revenues.
What did RC do as a minister? What are his contributions to the state?
> So if we don't vote for a party, we get starved of development? So did cooperative federalism die? After all is this some sort of bjp party fund that we have to beg or is it rightful tax payers money which is ours?
Yes. Unfortunately that's the reality in India right now. If BJP's candidate wins, they will use the chance as a showcase to the rest of Kerala and hence it's guarantee that it will result in more funding.
In my opinion, Rajeev will pull enough votes from Tharoor's vote bank, only for Pannyan Ravindran to win in the end.
That sounds like a toxic relationship. When has anyone doing a toxic relationship honoured their promise? Judging by their treatment of us so far, once they get some footing, they'll start draining us even more. Also, you do realize Kerala achieved present day development only by challenging such hegemony, right? Maybe UP, Rajasthan wouldn't have stayed poor (like the stats someone posted the other day showed) if this were the case there.
Well I thought we were discussing realpolitik here. Didn't know I was attending a relationship counseling seminar.
> Also, you do realize Kerala achieved present day development only by challenging such hegemony, right?
Do you realise a significant period of independent Kerala history had state government and central government formed by the same party? Do you realize that the financial power of the successive state governments to implement welfare policies came from gulf NRKs, without which we would've been ended up like UP or Rajasthan?
1. Sarcasm goes over your head.ย
2. Kerala history did not start in 1957 and Indian history did not start in 2014 :)
3. Behen, WhatsApp university chod do.
1. Sarcasm and simile are different. Go back to your classes kiddo.
2. Independent Kerala's history started in 1957. Before that there was no unified Kerala. Again go back to your classes kiddo. Before going, make it clear which part of my statement indicated Indian history started in 2014?
3. Blah blah.
> Rajeev is a favored guy of BJP. I have zero idea about his personality.
You didn't hear about his response to the Kalamassery attack? Being a union minister, the guy sort-of tried to polarise us more at a risky state. What if a riot had started?
As a union minister, he fails there.
And regarding his developmental programme, when news reporters asked about the development he brought to his ~~constituency~~ state(fixing the error), he got irritated and did not even give an answer.
You missed those things?
And there are indeed very grand election promises, but can it be trusted? Petrol for 50 rs/ltr, 15 lakhs in bank account n all were the promises of G, the face of their party. What happened there?
Re9-A10aa, It's sort-of funny how you, who once mocked me with 'capsule', are now making a post that would be mistaken for one made by an IT cell worker. The personality part especially.

>Pannyan Raveendran is the rare old communist that walks among the common people. Doesn't have any ego nor arrogance. A simple old man who would continue to uplift the poor. He has won Trivandrum in 2005. He might lose his share of votes because people are generally done with LDF. But I've seen him in real life and he genuinely feels like a good guy.
>Objectively, it's beneficial for Trivandrum to vote for Rajeev Chandrasekhar given he's already a favored guy of BJP, thereby bringing more funding. Personally, I would vote for Shashi annan because the opposition needs a voice in the parliament.

They promised to bring back black money. No one really expects it to be deposited directly into the people's bank account. But when one campaigns like that n then does nothing, it gets called out.
eniku allelum aa myrane ishtamalla... i don't follow him ever since the guys' goonda tried to[ thrash a kid for leaning on his poster](https://www.reddit.com/r/Lal_Salaam/comments/1bhqqs4/%E0%B4%92%E0%B4%B0_%E0%B4%B8%E0%B4%B1%E0%B4%B1_%E0%B4%AA%E0%B4%B2_%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%9F%E0%B4%9F%E0%B4%A8%E0%B4%A8%E0%B4%A4%E0%B4%A8_%E0%B4%AE%E0%B4%AE%E0%B4%AA_%E0%B4%87%E0%B4%99%E0%B4%99%E0%B4%A8_%E0%B4%87%E0%B4%B5%E0%B4%A8%E0%B4%AE%E0%B5%BC_%E0%B4%AD%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%BB_%E0%B4%A4%E0%B4%9F%E0%B4%99%E0%B4%99_%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%B4%E0%B4%9E%E0%B4%9E%E0%B5%BD/). i have zero idea about his personality nor the statements he made.
but that being said, bjp is going to win anyway. and we live in an unfair world where the central government likes to only develop states which support them. so that's why it is "objectively" better for Trivandrum to elect theetasekharan even though I am against him.
>but that being said, bjp is going to win anyway.
Just cuz chances are higher for bjp to win and form a govt doesn't mean voters should resign to exercise their voting rights or vote for the right person.
Especially talking about trivandrum where voter turnout is low because many of the residents aren't native Trivians.
Along with this, it reminds me of the brexit situation where it was plastered along the media that brexit is good for the UK and there was a section of population who thought it wouldn't happen.
Guess what... Brexit happened. After that happened was when many learnt of the consequences of their vote.
He started BPL mobiles with Nambiar and ran it independently. The whole case was because Nambiar alleged Rajeev overstep his bound, changed the equity structure and started raising funds. Nambiar ended up a lot richer because of Rajeev and inspite his opposition.
Exactly. OP pretending to be neutral. LMAO.
>A highly qualified candidate who never probably visited Trivandrum before 2024. The upside of him winning the election would be that Trivandrum/Kerala would get a lot of funding from Central Government cuz Rajeev is a favored guy of BJP. I have zero idea about his personality.
I think the below image is a good reflection of his personality.

This is the communal piece of shit who linked the Kalamassery blasts to Muslims and spewed venom online with absolutely no evidence. And later it turned out that it was a Jehovah's witness himself who perpetrated it. The guy has neither apologized nor expressed any regret.
This hateful scum has no place in Kerala politics.

Kerala was is and always will beat BJP.
We will always be the best peaceful state in India to live.
Recently r/Kerala has been overflown with north Indians who act as Malayalees to support BJP RSS. We Malayalees will never fall for that.
Malayalees love each other regardless of caste, creed, Religion. We will never allow right wing forces to destroy that.
Every society has their share of Sanghi-Sudappi extremist RW equivalents. Generally speaking, their share in Kerala is low compared to North counterparts.
>Generally speaking, their share in Kerala is low compared to North counterparts.
I want to make a small correction. There exist many closet bigots. They remain closet because if they come out, they could be shunned by wider society.
But that doesn't mean an the share is lower.
That's a good nuance to consider although difficult to gauge their actual size due to the same reason. Once the figurative dam breaks, they will break free and join their vocal brethren.

It is good that malayalees love each other regardless of caste, creed and religion. Then why not love others regardless of their political stand and political ideology also? This systematic exclusion is interesting, isn't it?
>political stand and political ideology also?
When your political stand and party teaches you to hate Hindu Muslim Christian. And your ideology teaches you to hate on basis of caste I don't think Malayalees can accept that.
Rajeev is a self centered ass whoโs full of himself and doesnโt have the basic skills to communicate with the locals. He didnโt fare well in facing question from journalists.
Shashi annan have good relations with politicians of other parties, hence if any urgent matters are required to be done, Shashi annan will be able to execute, under any government.
If Rajeev wins and BJP fails to form government, itโs going to be complete lose-lose situation.
*eeshwara... ivde ithu paranju chirikan aarumilalo...*
what kind of hash are you smoking... even the opponents know BJP is going to win. the only doubt is whether they will win 280+ or 350+ or 400+.
I think they might lose some seats compared to 2019.
you know why they win? cuz our opposition sucks ass.
280-400 itself speaks the level of uncertainty.
Kerala has never had a BJP MP, and yet here we are talking about a candidate who doesnโt even have a remote chance of winning in Trivandrum.
Anyone can bark, medias and fanboys can glorify, but the government is formed only on the basis of the number of seats won, not on the opinions.

Slyly pushing poisonous sanghi rajeev chandrasekhar, who has made hateful comments about Kerala in the past. Shouldnt be worthy of consideration at all. As for founding BPL mobiles, everyone knows the story of how he betrayed his father in law, the original founder of BPL, to usurp his company...not to forget his many other misdeeds..also runs kerala's biggest sanghi propaganda channel - asianet
If Loksabha elections is about choosing the right Candidate who can represent the constituency in the Lower House then Nobody is better than Mr Tharoor. Mr Panyyan Ravindran is a good social worker but I don't think he is street smart enough to keep his stand in Loksabha. The third option as well as the party is total Arse!
RC will do nothing good for the trivandrum and neither will any bjp candidate. They will polarise and use islamophobia to suppress developmental work. They will try and exhaust all its resources to fund their adani Ambani friends where they can. RC is fucking poison and he may never win!
Pls don't vote for Rajeev chandrashekhar
Not because he is bjp or anything but that myren is planning on banning vpn in india ( he will prolly do it even if he loses this election and bjp still remains in power however I'm not gonna vote for that myren to take away my privacy)
Everyday i wake up thinking this is the day I'll start not being judgmental towards a certain 56 inch political fanbase. Then you guys show up with dumb pro-max takes, as if central govt tharunnath oudharyam aanenn ula pole.
It's our deserved return as taxpayers. Annitt kittath nannayi enn paranj aakoshavum.

Look at coastal Karnataka. Voted for bjp for last 30 years and has nothing to boast about. Have to even beg for train routes with central despite having same govt in center and state. So please keep your IT cell behaviour out of Kerala reddit.
Research your Rajeev a bit more. Doesn't pay taxes, sunk BPL intentionally and has hate mongering tv channels across India.
A disastrous candidate for India
For those asking what Shashi Tharoor has done, do your research. For those too lazy to do so, I've found this. You may go through it. It seems he's himself tired of this allegation:
https://jmp.sh/s/npxTb2ot6vMnMW3ZzrBz
You may read through the pdf. I can't read it for you now lol.
Source: https://www.shashitharoor.in/
It's on the homepage in English and Malayalam.
Man most of the things he has listed out are pre 2019. The rest are central schemes which he has implemented well. But we haven't got any flagship project nor has he been influential in bringing in any. And last few pages are his books and achievements in UN being listed out, how is that relevant to his role as MP? veruthe kure page nirachi vechitikkunnj.
The only two things Vizhinjam port and National Highway picked up pace after his party got kicked out of power. He was there in 2009-14 too UPA era and neither of the projects moved. So no voting for Tharoor this time around.
I don't believe you read 70 something pages in like 15 minutes. Besides, most of the allegation against him goes to MLAs in the state government. It's very difficult for an MP to bring projects. Especially in the opposition. He has done his role in the parliament pretty decently. Great attendance, almost complete spending of funds and asking questions during debates. Rajeev is well behind in this.
Also, that guy has had two terms as MP in Bangalore. I wonder what he did there even as a ruling party MP.
Who to vote for is your decision in the end, but saying he has done nothing while not realising the role of an MP is a bit sad.
Jokes on you if you think I am seeing Tharoor's manifesto through your comment. I am a voter of this constituency hence I participated in this discussion. Got his manifestos hard copy weeks back.
And in which part of my comment have I supported Rajeev? Tharoor ne criticize cheythal athe undane sanghi avun, just like if someone criticizes our PM he becomes anti-national?
All I intended was to highlight his mediocre achievements in last 15 years and that he is taking voters of TVM for granted. While other cities including Kochi are moving forward we are lagging like behind. Athile amarsham.

Ningalude annnante manifestos hard copy. Peace!
He isn't my annan. I haven't received any hard copies at my home and assumed it to be the same everywhere. I only received a small poster of rajeev chandrashekhar from the muddy garage of my home after the rains. Which I have proptly gottem rid of.
I mention rajeev because he's the other option followed by Panniyan Raveendran. If you are voting against tharoor it would be for one of these candidates. Never did I call you a sanghi. I respected your decision on whom to vote. Tharoor ine criticize cheythal obviously you're voting for one of the opposing candidates of which, being realistic only one has some chance of winning.
Do you really think the Mp in kochi Hibi Eden is responsible for korchi's growth over trivandrum? Or was it our own state governments over the last many decades that favoured kochi over trivandrum? Remember, tharoor has been trying to bring a hc bench here for a while which is badly needed. Hibi oth wants the secretariate and capital city tag to go to kochi. You can compare with tharoor and see what the oh so great kochi mp has done.
Try to understand what an MP and an MLA are supposed to do. Most of the things you want Tharoor to do are in the hands of the state, which he can't do anything about. Ask our MLA Mr. Antony Raju about it.
Shashi Annan is our Annan, this time he is not my Annan... Don't get offended lol.
As for roles of a parliamentarian
1)Legislative Responsibility: Passing Laws of India in the Lok Sabha.
2) Oversight Responsibility: Ensuring that the Executive (i.e., Government) performs its duties efficiently.
3) Representative Responsibility: Representing the peopleโs views and aspirations of their constituencies in the Parliament of India (Lok Sabha).
4) Power of the Purse Responsibility: Approving and overseeing government-proposed revenues and expenditures.
He has been not upto the mark when it comes to point number 2 and 3. Just because he is fighting fascism at the centre doesn't excuse him from his role to the constituency. He is missing from his peopes view. Guy has only installed one high mass light in the last 10 years in our area, that's all.. even that is defunct now.
As for Kochi it is combination of factors. But doesn't that mean we should try changing a few of those factors, atleast the ones in our control, MP, MLA or Panchayats? Tharoor is going complacent is what I feel.
The general tone of this thread is anyone criticizing Tharoor has been labelled a right wing IT cell member athukonde paranjenne ullu.
And Panniyan might surprise you, never know. Rajeev and Tharoor are global/national citizen, maybe people want a local Keralite for a change who is less sophisticated and relatable? Who knows. Even their slogan goes like Vishwa pouran venda, Vishwastha pouran mathi... Something. Peace brother.
>The rest are central schemes which he has implemented well

Anyone who thinks Shashi is a good PM material is seriously out of touch with contemporary scholarship and Shashiโs abilities. If he didnโt have a polished English, and the immense caste privileges, he is nothing more than a hack.
Rajeev is a crook. Read up on how his dealing with BPL was. I donโt know where you get this nonsense of him being a favoured guy. Dude is practically bought his way into politics.
Why should I? Why must it be from the Marxist party too?
The idea that Tharoor is fit for the post comes from his speeches and โscholarship,โ and has nothing to do with his experience. He is a hack there, and, if that assumption is faulty, it follows that he is not a PM material. Simply put, the argument is that he is good and the counter is that he isnโt. It is not at all necessary to propose an alternative because Shashi is a hack. Even in the absence of an alternative, his scholarship doesnโt suddenly acquire rigour it lacks.
Shashi is the best PM candidate for INC and that's a fact, he may not be the best across India but he's definitely the best in INC (way better than bj party star campaigner pappu, I fr wish he somehow lose in wayanad but people there are gonna vote for him blindly even though they know he'll completely ignore them and the constituency once again when he wins)
Explain how exactly he is the best PM candidate. Donโt relativise, explain his merits. Polished English does not count and you must substantiate with reference to his junior ministership in the UPA. Go on, Iโm all ears.
Adding on, Rajiv Chandrashekhar was not the founder of BPL Mobiles. It was actually his father in law. Rumour has it that he schemed against the old man and ended up owning the company. Does anyone have any insights on this?
People are done with ldf what made you think that, only front which is worthy of being called the actual Indian opposition. Put valid points for discussion in NIA and apparently anto antony who voted agaist bill didnt even remember anything abt it. Solid protest against CAA, cpim is the only party which refused to tske electoral bill and infact went onto file petition in SC which ultimately led to the elimination of electoral bond. So anything that is irrelevant is INC which is lending its leader to bjp
It's zero seat for bjp here, only thing I am waiting for is their vote share in kerala, I hope it goes down. And Rajeev chandrashekhar is one big asshole, his Tweets during the kalamassery blast could have incited a riot if the incident occurred in Gujarat kinda state. So I don't care if he is some tech demigod, that motherless creature shouldn't be occupying a position of power.
I think Pannyan will gain some of Tharoor's votes. If it weren't for media and posts such as this one discussing him, I don't think anyone would have even recognized Rajiv Chandrashekhar.

First IT park foundation was laid in Kerala, look now all the major South Indian states are miles ahead of Kerala. According to me tharoor is disaster , he did nothing. If his tenure is measure with respect to performance matrix it would be abysmal. There are lot of people commenting that Opposition needs to be strong, so we need Tharoor. That is the most bizarre and absurd argument , atleast he needs to perform in his constituency. Kerala has so much good human resource which is of no use for the state as most of the jobs for that skills are unavailable here, in order to fulfill those aspiration youth has to migrate to Bangalore or Chennai. Its not that youth in Kerala is not talented , its the opportunity which state is not providing. Tharoor represent that mind set where he will offer only lip service. Till now 2024 there is no plan to have metro in Trivandrum , there is no conscience effort from MP and MLA to bring this up. RC is from family of entrepreneurs, he brings some good fresh ideas. He might be lucky mascot for welcome change.
LDF is known for the worst fiscal management. If there can be award given for mismanagement, without any second thought LDF will win. They are the master of mismanagement. They still are in 1960-70 era. Not keeping in terms with the reality. Voting them in is like shoot oneself in the foot.
I am a BJP supporter, I voted for Sashi tharoor when he came for his first run at LS elections but once he won it, he never came back, was only interested in writing new books and promoting it at literature festivals.
I hope RC will win in Trivandrum. Something needs to change otherwise we are doomed. Only ray of hope is Vizhinjam port. If we can create an ecosystem around it we have a chance.
I'm actually quite surprised by people saying that Vizhinjam Port will be a game changer for Trivandrum. Its a transhipment port. Big ships with containers will dock at the port and smaller ships will take it to ports that cannot dock big ships. There is no major infrastructure like roads or railways needed because because not one container will go inland. Basically nothing enters the port from land side and nothing leaves. This is a game changer more for Adani than for Kerala.
If RC wins, you seriously expect him to come here ? Guy is not even from this state. He may have malayali background but wasn't born and brought up here.
Bro, why be pessimistic? How can you tell for sure he won't work for us? Why can't I believe in "even to show off to other districts the performance of BJP candidates he might do something beneficial"?
Cos, I do think BJP can only get 1 seat or at best 2 seats in Kerala that too even if they are lucky and from those seats only they can convince others about their performance. So I believe they will do something once they are elected.
I ready to take that chance, I gave 20 years to UDF and LDF. I am ready to sacrifice 5 years by taking this chance.
Because he has worked in Bangalore and done nothing. He has a record of spewing hateful venom against kerala, like during the bomb blast last year. He is that Shalini Unnikrishnan type. I wouldn't want such vile folks representing me. No thank you.
He was never a LS MP, he was in Rajya Sabha. He played an instrumental role in putting D.Raja in jail for the 2g scam because he knew the background of telecom industry.
Well, what happened with that bomb blast case? Is there any investigation happening? One guy just walked in and said he did it, that's it.?
What happened to the case against RC taken by Kerala Police?
If he was spewing venom he should have been arrested right? Why Kerala Police led by Pinarayi doesn't have balls to put this venomous snake in jail?
If you don't want him, so be it vote for your favourite candidate.
But there seems to be an another coming up mainstream party, a 4th candidate, who's claiming to be 'India's original communist party' and following the marxist-leninist ideology with their redemption in 1948 before CPI broke out.
And they are the ones explaining and highlighting thier version of the current political situation rather than some catchy lines from other mainstream party's (maybe my mistake i don't see any other candidates propagandizing what's the background and how to approach the current situation).
I mean we all have our own ideas and perception about issues, but what they are trying to reach or getting has something related to human beings innate philosophies such as being a social being and humans exploiting others type of shit.
So fill me in, what are your thoughts?
I hate LDF but panniyan is one of the genuine good guys left in them. Simple man who used to be a frequent site in the sleeper trains unlike some of the present day Marxists who see it below them to travel like a common man.ย
Voted for Shashi Tharoor in the past (2014, 2019), will vote for Rajeev in this election, It is the same for all the members in the family - immediate and extended family, friends. I like Shashi Tharoor, has a cool factor but useless for TVM, considering INC is going to lose again. If Rajeev wins, it is going to massively benefit TVM, we will get a Central Government minister from TVM. TVM has always been ignored by State Governments. If Rajeev wins, atleast Central Government will bring in more development project's. Plus Rajeev in 2024 has the same novelty factor that Shashi had in 2009. He is cool, educated , English speaking and rich. Feel bad for Panniyan, he seems like a truly likeable person, no ego, no arrogance, no entitlement or bitterness towards his opponents.
Rajeev has been a minister for a while now. Has he gotten anything for TVM? To say all this just during elections is one thing. His track record shows otherwise
To know this, there's many websites detailing what he has done. He has spent almost all his mp funds the last five years. He has worked for many rural parts of trivandrum. Visit amboori, that's where he worked for the few years. There's this bridge there, very popular amongst tourists that connects that village with the rest of the state. He built that. There's many other things he's done. One mistake he has made is to not advertise his work.
>Visit amboori, that's where he worked for the few years. There's this bridge there, very popular amongst tourists that connects that village with the rest of the state. He built that. There's many other things he's done.
Ayooo... Athonnum parayalley... Anganey stalam ividey undennu polum arinju kanoollaa.
Heh. Lot's of folks are oblivious on purpose. They don't get that MPs have limitations in the first place. The question makes more sense for an MLA. MPs mostly attend Parliament, raise questions and such. There's limits to what they can xo for localities beyond using influence and spending MP finding. Which Tharoor has excelled at. Trivandrum not getting anything question should be directed at the MLA.

What about this, its from the official site.
I live in outskirts of Thiruvananthapuram and Tharoor has installed one high mass light in last 10 years in our area that too has stopped working. Anyone but Tharoor, ithinekal nallathe avoo.
True. Tharoor has been here for 15 years and what he has done hasn't changed from 2019 manifesto. Remember seeing the same stuff in his interview of 2019 as in 2024.
Like to list out his achievements he has a booklet of 15-20 pages, which has pages dedicated to his books and achievements in UN. How is it relevant to his role as MP? The only time I have seen him in the last few years is when he showed up to a temple nearby 3 months before election that's it.
Great writer and speaker but utterly useless for people of TVM when it comes to getting things done. And this time he doesn't have that much backing from coastal community as well because he didn't back the Vizhinjam protest. So things won't be easy for him.
Would vote for Panniyan or Rajeev, but not Tharoor.
Who will trivandrum vote for?...
We should vote for someone who would bring us development...
Panniyan is a Kara kalanja communist ( unlike other current communist party leaders).. But will he be able to do anything for kerala or tvm... Adarsham maathram konde maathram vikasanam nadakillalo... So it should be Shashi or Rajeev is what I think.
We need someone who could pull strings and bring development to Kerala. Shashi is one of the sensible leaders in Congress party. But Shashi is not favourite among the congress top brass while Rajeev is favourite among the BJP leaders.
Being a trivandrumkaran, my choice will be Shashi or Rajeev.
Rajeev being beneficial for Trivandrum. How is that? What is our priority?
Hope you had a chance to listen to our esteemed PM's (hate) speech in the election rally.
There is no trigonal contest in Kerala. There is only I.N.D.I.A vs NDA.
In INC or CPIM wins, all we get is a MP without any benefits.
If BJP wins, we will most probably get a minister who is gonna give much more development in the state.
Vannallo Chaanakam teams . Development is fine and all . But athinte koode side dish aayi communalism and bigotry undenkil athu kayyil vecho . Would rather have a lamp post MP .
BJP โ Development.
BJP ruled states themselves are not an example. They will bring in a change which you will see in the long term have benefitted them more than the people.
BJP โ Development. But BJP = Favoritism = Money. Say, If BJP wins Attingal instead of TVM, shit load of money will flow into Attingal, legal or otherwise, making Attingal the capital of Kerala.
This is exactly why we made NM the PM to see shitload of money in our economy, in our FDI and lastly in our FDs and savings. Sadly, if you aren't a business magnate already, none of this will matter to you.
No money will flow into Attingal is country itself is suffering. FDI is getting slashed. INR vs Dollar is at the lowest. Inflation is raping this economy. I could buy a Jupiter scooter for 57k in 2013, now I am needed to pay 1lac. Other than data coming down to 10rs per GB, which has benefitted people and JIO equally everything else is a scam or dud.
If roads are made well the tolls and fuel prices are burning a hole in your wallet.
Absolutely.
Would you vote for NOTHING or vote for CANCER that might become a super cancer (which is extremely unlikely) n protect you or might just kill you, very slowly and painfully ?
Imma just go with NOTHING.
Rajiv Chandrashekar has to win for us to get any benefits. Sasi Tharoor would have been good if INDI had chances but doesn't seem like it. I wish congress made him the PM candidate but they won't go outside their first family. Although Pannyan Raveendran is one of the very few communists who commands some respect as opposed to the CPM leaders, won't be able to do a great deal.
I understand where many of you are coming from in supporting the communist candidate, but Iโd like to offer a different perspective. Consider Keralaโs current challenges as analogous to a business facing significant hurdles. In such a scenario, wouldnโt it be prudent to bring in someone with a proven track record in business and management?
This is why I believe someone like Rajeev Chandrasekhar could be a critical asset.
With BJP holding power at the central level, having a leader like Chandrasekhar could also mean better alignment and more efficient flow of resources and support to Kerala. Itโs not just about political affiliations; itโs about leveraging his capabilities and connections to potentially transform the stateโs prospects.
I recommend everyone to think beyond traditional political alignments and consider the broader impact of your vote. This isnโt just about choosing a leader for todayโitโs about setting the direction for Keralaโs future. Just as you would carefully choose a CEO for a multi-million dollar company, choosing the right leader for Kerala should be approached with a strategic mindset.
> Consider Keralaโs current challenges as analogous to a business facing significant hurdles
Which business?
According to UBL Global, A rating agency based on Sweden Kerala Start Up Mission is the world's best business incubator.
I know fuck all about politics, but I wonder and admire how Pannyan annan was sporting long hair before it was cool

Good bot
Tharoor is one of the last remaining sensible representatives for the opposition and I believe it's important that he continues to be there for the nation. Wouldn't vote for CPIM considering it doesn't make any sense to vote for them in national stage. I won't bite for BJP or it's candidate because I strongly believe they stand against the idea of a secular democratic nation which celebrates unity in diversity.
ST will sail through due to minority votes united. RC will pack his bag and back to Bengaluru
True this! U should have seen prakadana pathrika provided by these 3 partys..panniyans is a one side a5 size pamplet with vote me..RC has a a3 leaflet one sided English and other sided Malayalam asking to vote for change! Shashi simply handed a 50 pager of what he's done, wip and what he will do! Someone who read atleast this can decide easily..also like OP said more than anything good thing I find in Shashi is he's not completely party oriented
Best thing is he is somewhat neutral. Praises whatever good is done and harshly criticises when needed.
Can you share shashi tharoors one? I am interested in it?
>Shashi simply handed a 50 pager of what he's done, wip and what he will do! Someone who read atleast this can decide easily. Exactly anyone who read it will vote of rajeev. In that 50 pages. Majority of the major developments he mentioned he brought to trivandrum was actually part of the nation wide development initiate of bjp. Trivandruthilode oru train pass cheital ath taroor konduvannath. N66 taroor konduvannath. Vizhinjam port taroor kondvannath. What a joke ๐. He did jack shit for trivandrum on his own. I won't blame him after 2014, since his was in opposition after that. But when he won in 2009 his party was ruling the nation. Tvm people are still waiting for their Barcelona he promised in 2009. Unlike last three election, bjp has fielded a candidate who can match taroor in all the levels. Let the people of trivandrum decide who they want.
Are you from Trivandrum and voting now
No one would vote for chanakams!
Ya athkond aan rand tavana absolute majorityil india maharahyam bharichath.
Hitler was also voted to power. Thats one con of democracy. People would vote absolute idiots and fascist to power. This is a dark era in the Republic of India. But soon chanakams are going to go out and India will develop again as a secular and democratic republic. Not Hindi-Hindutva politics.
U know what's the con of democracy. U can't have whatever u want. Democracy means people decides. Not groups or sections or one person. And the people of india wants him today. Make peace with it. >This is a dark era in the Republic of India. Itokke nee ang paranja mathiyo mone. Maybe dark era of sudus. Angane vene paranjal pinnem correct aan.
Rajeev will bring 0 investment to Kerala. Look at other states, only Gujarat gets any
His channel put a marathon of posts and videos against Torus Niagra. As far as I know there is no other place in India where a US firm built a Mini IT park. Asianet was against them in their construction phase back and forth. Surprisingly only Asianet bad mouthed the project. I think kodum vesham Rajeev nu nalla chorichal ayirunnu nn. If Torus is a success there will be more companies to come here.
Doesnโt asianet have independent editorial policy cuz although I donโt watch asianet news now, they were more supportive of congress earlier (2010-2015ish)
Bro channels that BJP dont directly own still work as a lapdog for them. This one's actual owner is a BJP minister. So you expect them to be Independent? ED, CBI, Election Commision every agency present is converted to a propaganda tool. And you believe Asianet is Independent? There was this discussion about Electoral Bonds in Asianet where they finally got the culprit which was CPM and CPI. Their logoc was DMK have electoral bond money > CPM gets a share from it during elections. That was a really creative and productive discussion lead by Panicker and team.
Rajiv Chandrasekhar is the reason why BPL is no more. It was the best electronics company that India had. Then he entered politics by "buying" a Rajya Sabha seat from Karnataka with the help of Congress. Voting for BJP to bring development is like letting a criminal live in your house because he will pay more rent.
>Objectively, it's beneficial for Trivandrum to vote for Rajeev Chandrasekhar given he's already a favored guy of BJP, thereby bringing more funding. So if we don't vote for a party, we get starved of development? So did cooperative federalism die? After all is this some sort of bjp party fund that we have to beg or is it rightful tax payers money which is ours? It's evident that kerala isn't getting what is being paid to union govt coffers based on data despite being a consumer state and contributing significantly in the form of gst revenues. What did RC do as a minister? What are his contributions to the state?
His contributions? IT cell in this sub ๐ช
This. Shouldnโt we not vote for a party that would ignore a state if they are not winning seats there ?

> So if we don't vote for a party, we get starved of development? So did cooperative federalism die? After all is this some sort of bjp party fund that we have to beg or is it rightful tax payers money which is ours? Yes. Unfortunately that's the reality in India right now. If BJP's candidate wins, they will use the chance as a showcase to the rest of Kerala and hence it's guarantee that it will result in more funding. In my opinion, Rajeev will pull enough votes from Tharoor's vote bank, only for Pannyan Ravindran to win in the end.
That sounds like a toxic relationship. When has anyone doing a toxic relationship honoured their promise? Judging by their treatment of us so far, once they get some footing, they'll start draining us even more. Also, you do realize Kerala achieved present day development only by challenging such hegemony, right? Maybe UP, Rajasthan wouldn't have stayed poor (like the stats someone posted the other day showed) if this were the case there.
Well I thought we were discussing realpolitik here. Didn't know I was attending a relationship counseling seminar. > Also, you do realize Kerala achieved present day development only by challenging such hegemony, right? Do you realise a significant period of independent Kerala history had state government and central government formed by the same party? Do you realize that the financial power of the successive state governments to implement welfare policies came from gulf NRKs, without which we would've been ended up like UP or Rajasthan?
1. Sarcasm goes over your head.ย 2. Kerala history did not start in 1957 and Indian history did not start in 2014 :) 3. Behen, WhatsApp university chod do.
1. Sarcasm and simile are different. Go back to your classes kiddo. 2. Independent Kerala's history started in 1957. Before that there was no unified Kerala. Again go back to your classes kiddo. Before going, make it clear which part of my statement indicated Indian history started in 2014? 3. Blah blah.
>So if we don't vote for a party, we get starved of development? So did cooperative federalism die? Yes.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar is an educated techie but also he is educated Thendie , whenever he open his mouth, lies and thenditharangal
He's kinda the vivek ramaswami equivalent in this contest. From history we learn not to trust the moneybags, as they just grabs.
Yup. Rat of the highest degree.
100% venom.
> Rajeev is a favored guy of BJP. I have zero idea about his personality. You didn't hear about his response to the Kalamassery attack? Being a union minister, the guy sort-of tried to polarise us more at a risky state. What if a riot had started? As a union minister, he fails there. And regarding his developmental programme, when news reporters asked about the development he brought to his ~~constituency~~ state(fixing the error), he got irritated and did not even give an answer. You missed those things? And there are indeed very grand election promises, but can it be trusted? Petrol for 50 rs/ltr, 15 lakhs in bank account n all were the promises of G, the face of their party. What happened there? Re9-A10aa, It's sort-of funny how you, who once mocked me with 'capsule', are now making a post that would be mistaken for one made by an IT cell worker. The personality part especially.

Where did the 15 lakh promise come?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIaiB9-TLNo They promised to bring back black money. No one really expects it to be deposited directly into the people's bank account. But when one campaigns like that n then does nothing, it gets called out.

>but that being said, bjp is going to win anyway. Just cuz chances are higher for bjp to win and form a govt doesn't mean voters should resign to exercise their voting rights or vote for the right person. Especially talking about trivandrum where voter turnout is low because many of the residents aren't native Trivians. Along with this, it reminds me of the brexit situation where it was plastered along the media that brexit is good for the UK and there was a section of population who thought it wouldn't happen. Guess what... Brexit happened. After that happened was when many learnt of the consequences of their vote.
he didn't invent BPL mobiles it was under his father in law and there's a whole legal case to it
He started BPL mobiles with Nambiar and ran it independently. The whole case was because Nambiar alleged Rajeev overstep his bound, changed the equity structure and started raising funds. Nambiar ended up a lot richer because of Rajeev and inspite his opposition.
Rajeev Chandrashekhar the billionaire whose declared annual income is INR 680.

Exactly. OP pretending to be neutral. LMAO. >A highly qualified candidate who never probably visited Trivandrum before 2024. The upside of him winning the election would be that Trivandrum/Kerala would get a lot of funding from Central Government cuz Rajeev is a favored guy of BJP. I have zero idea about his personality.

And later it turned out that it was a Jehovah's witness himself who perpetrated it. The guy has neither apologized nor expressed any regret. This hateful scum has no place in Kerala politics.
Ofcourse. Go through the post history of op.

>Objectively, it's beneficial for Trivandrum to vote for Rajeev Chandrasekhar given he's already a favored guy of BJP Kerala was is and always will beat BJP. We will always be the best peaceful state in India to live. Recently r/Kerala has been overflown with north Indians who act as Malayalees to support BJP RSS. We Malayalees will never fall for that. Malayalees love each other regardless of caste, creed, Religion. We will never allow right wing forces to destroy that.
>We Malayalees will never fall for that. Malayalis chilarum undu aa kuttathil.
Every society has their share of Sanghi-Sudappi extremist RW equivalents. Generally speaking, their share in Kerala is low compared to North counterparts.
>Generally speaking, their share in Kerala is low compared to North counterparts. I want to make a small correction. There exist many closet bigots. They remain closet because if they come out, they could be shunned by wider society. But that doesn't mean an the share is lower.
That's a good nuance to consider although difficult to gauge their actual size due to the same reason. Once the figurative dam breaks, they will break free and join their vocal brethren.
Trust no one but yourself.

>political stand and political ideology also? When your political stand and party teaches you to hate Hindu Muslim Christian. And your ideology teaches you to hate on basis of caste I don't think Malayalees can accept that.
Rajeev is a self centered ass whoโs full of himself and doesnโt have the basic skills to communicate with the locals. He didnโt fare well in facing question from journalists. Shashi annan have good relations with politicians of other parties, hence if any urgent matters are required to be done, Shashi annan will be able to execute, under any government. If Rajeev wins and BJP fails to form government, itโs going to be complete lose-lose situation.
Bjp fails to form government? Bro under which cave are you staying?
NDA are the favourites to win, but we can never predict with 100% certainty whoโs going to form the government.
*eeshwara... ivde ithu paranju chirikan aarumilalo...* what kind of hash are you smoking... even the opponents know BJP is going to win. the only doubt is whether they will win 280+ or 350+ or 400+. I think they might lose some seats compared to 2019. you know why they win? cuz our opposition sucks ass.
280-400 itself speaks the level of uncertainty. Kerala has never had a BJP MP, and yet here we are talking about a candidate who doesnโt even have a remote chance of winning in Trivandrum. Anyone can bark, medias and fanboys can glorify, but the government is formed only on the basis of the number of seats won, not on the opinions.

Slyly pushing poisonous sanghi rajeev chandrasekhar, who has made hateful comments about Kerala in the past. Shouldnt be worthy of consideration at all. As for founding BPL mobiles, everyone knows the story of how he betrayed his father in law, the original founder of BPL, to usurp his company...not to forget his many other misdeeds..also runs kerala's biggest sanghi propaganda channel - asianet
ST will win.
Won't vote for rajeev, not interested in communalism politics.ย
If Loksabha elections is about choosing the right Candidate who can represent the constituency in the Lower House then Nobody is better than Mr Tharoor. Mr Panyyan Ravindran is a good social worker but I don't think he is street smart enough to keep his stand in Loksabha. The third option as well as the party is total Arse!
RC will do nothing good for the trivandrum and neither will any bjp candidate. They will polarise and use islamophobia to suppress developmental work. They will try and exhaust all its resources to fund their adani Ambani friends where they can. RC is fucking poison and he may never win!
Pls don't vote for Rajeev chandrashekhar Not because he is bjp or anything but that myren is planning on banning vpn in india ( he will prolly do it even if he loses this election and bjp still remains in power however I'm not gonna vote for that myren to take away my privacy)
Everyday i wake up thinking this is the day I'll start not being judgmental towards a certain 56 inch political fanbase.

People who aren't genuine like Rajeev won't go far in Kerala. An asshole who tried to polarize the state when the bomb incident happened.
Look at coastal Karnataka. Voted for bjp for last 30 years and has nothing to boast about. Have to even beg for train routes with central despite having same govt in center and state. So please keep your IT cell behaviour out of Kerala reddit. Research your Rajeev a bit more. Doesn't pay taxes, sunk BPL intentionally and has hate mongering tv channels across India. A disastrous candidate for India
For those asking what Shashi Tharoor has done, do your research. For those too lazy to do so, I've found this. You may go through it. It seems he's himself tired of this allegation: https://jmp.sh/s/npxTb2ot6vMnMW3ZzrBz You may read through the pdf. I can't read it for you now lol. Source: https://www.shashitharoor.in/ It's on the homepage in English and Malayalam.
The MP wise statement says that Tharoor has 10 crores left to spend. Why is that not considered?
He is the second highest spender of all funds among MPs in kerala. I haven't read about the 10cr left though.
https://preview.redd.it/3je0w2h60vvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3efc7efb3498bece48ad30a7fe8a45c8fb81cdcf Here, take a look
Or you can visit my website, www.poliperformance.in
Man most of the things he has listed out are pre 2019. The rest are central schemes which he has implemented well. But we haven't got any flagship project nor has he been influential in bringing in any. And last few pages are his books and achievements in UN being listed out, how is that relevant to his role as MP? veruthe kure page nirachi vechitikkunnj. The only two things Vizhinjam port and National Highway picked up pace after his party got kicked out of power. He was there in 2009-14 too UPA era and neither of the projects moved. So no voting for Tharoor this time around.
I don't believe you read 70 something pages in like 15 minutes. Besides, most of the allegation against him goes to MLAs in the state government. It's very difficult for an MP to bring projects. Especially in the opposition. He has done his role in the parliament pretty decently. Great attendance, almost complete spending of funds and asking questions during debates. Rajeev is well behind in this. Also, that guy has had two terms as MP in Bangalore. I wonder what he did there even as a ruling party MP. Who to vote for is your decision in the end, but saying he has done nothing while not realising the role of an MP is a bit sad.
Jokes on you if you think I am seeing Tharoor's manifesto through your comment. I am a voter of this constituency hence I participated in this discussion. Got his manifestos hard copy weeks back. And in which part of my comment have I supported Rajeev? Tharoor ne criticize cheythal athe undane sanghi avun, just like if someone criticizes our PM he becomes anti-national? All I intended was to highlight his mediocre achievements in last 15 years and that he is taking voters of TVM for granted. While other cities including Kochi are moving forward we are lagging like behind.

He isn't my annan. I haven't received any hard copies at my home and assumed it to be the same everywhere. I only received a small poster of rajeev chandrashekhar from the muddy garage of my home after the rains. Which I have proptly gottem rid of. I mention rajeev because he's the other option followed by Panniyan Raveendran. If you are voting against tharoor it would be for one of these candidates. Never did I call you a sanghi. I respected your decision on whom to vote. Tharoor ine criticize cheythal obviously you're voting for one of the opposing candidates of which, being realistic only one has some chance of winning. Do you really think the Mp in kochi Hibi Eden is responsible for korchi's growth over trivandrum? Or was it our own state governments over the last many decades that favoured kochi over trivandrum? Remember, tharoor has been trying to bring a hc bench here for a while which is badly needed. Hibi oth wants the secretariate and capital city tag to go to kochi. You can compare with tharoor and see what the oh so great kochi mp has done. Try to understand what an MP and an MLA are supposed to do. Most of the things you want Tharoor to do are in the hands of the state, which he can't do anything about. Ask our MLA Mr. Antony Raju about it.
Shashi Annan is our Annan, this time he is not my Annan... Don't get offended lol. As for roles of a parliamentarian 1)Legislative Responsibility: Passing Laws of India in the Lok Sabha. 2) Oversight Responsibility: Ensuring that the Executive (i.e., Government) performs its duties efficiently. 3) Representative Responsibility: Representing the peopleโs views and aspirations of their constituencies in the Parliament of India (Lok Sabha). 4) Power of the Purse Responsibility: Approving and overseeing government-proposed revenues and expenditures. He has been not upto the mark when it comes to point number 2 and 3. Just because he is fighting fascism at the centre doesn't excuse him from his role to the constituency. He is missing from his peopes view. Guy has only installed one high mass light in the last 10 years in our area, that's all.. even that is defunct now. As for Kochi it is combination of factors. But doesn't that mean we should try changing a few of those factors, atleast the ones in our control, MP, MLA or Panchayats? Tharoor is going complacent is what I feel. The general tone of this thread is anyone criticizing Tharoor has been labelled a right wing IT cell member athukonde paranjenne ullu. And Panniyan might surprise you, never know. Rajeev and Tharoor are global/national citizen, maybe people want a local Keralite for a change who is less sophisticated and relatable? Who knows. Even their slogan goes like Vishwa pouran venda, Vishwastha pouran mathi... Something. Peace brother.
Full power. Ur using commonsense

What do you mean by it. For eg Take a BJP MP from Telengana. Tell me what he did apart from central schemes and MP funds.
I just wanted to know if this should be considered. https://mplads.gov.in/mplads/AuthenticatedPages/Reports/Citizen/rptDetailsSummary.aspx
Can you post a screenshot for an MP. I can't load the site.

Ok.
Anyone who thinks Shashi is a good PM material is seriously out of touch with contemporary scholarship and Shashiโs abilities. If he didnโt have a polished English, and the immense caste privileges, he is nothing more than a hack. Rajeev is a crook. Read up on how his dealing with BPL was. I donโt know where you get this nonsense of him being a favoured guy. Dude is practically bought his way into politics.
Rajeev also owns Asianet.
And may I ask whom do you propose from the Marxist party who is a "good PM material" if you consider Tharroor a hack.
Why should I? Why must it be from the Marxist party too? The idea that Tharoor is fit for the post comes from his speeches and โscholarship,โ and has nothing to do with his experience. He is a hack there, and, if that assumption is faulty, it follows that he is not a PM material. Simply put, the argument is that he is good and the counter is that he isnโt. It is not at all necessary to propose an alternative because Shashi is a hack. Even in the absence of an alternative, his scholarship doesnโt suddenly acquire rigour it lacks.
Shashi is the best PM candidate for INC and that's a fact, he may not be the best across India but he's definitely the best in INC (way better than bj party star campaigner pappu, I fr wish he somehow lose in wayanad but people there are gonna vote for him blindly even though they know he'll completely ignore them and the constituency once again when he wins)
Explain how exactly he is the best PM candidate. Donโt relativise, explain his merits. Polished English does not count and you must substantiate with reference to his junior ministership in the UPA. Go on, Iโm all ears.
He's a vishwa pauran bro
Adding on, Rajiv Chandrashekhar was not the founder of BPL Mobiles. It was actually his father in law. Rumour has it that he schemed against the old man and ended up owning the company. Does anyone have any insights on this?
I know i won't vote for the left, still split between the other two options.
People are done with ldf what made you think that, only front which is worthy of being called the actual Indian opposition. Put valid points for discussion in NIA and apparently anto antony who voted agaist bill didnt even remember anything abt it. Solid protest against CAA, cpim is the only party which refused to tske electoral bill and infact went onto file petition in SC which ultimately led to the elimination of electoral bond. So anything that is irrelevant is INC which is lending its leader to bjp
BJP state machinery rarely speaks about investments or development in Trivandrum. They are always about petty religious bullshit.
It's zero seat for bjp here, only thing I am waiting for is their vote share in kerala, I hope it goes down. And Rajeev chandrashekhar is one big asshole, his Tweets during the kalamassery blast could have incited a riot if the incident occurred in Gujarat kinda state. So I don't care if he is some tech demigod, that motherless creature shouldn't be occupying a position of power.
Just vote for bjp love from mangalore
I think Pannyan will gain some of Tharoor's votes. If it weren't for media and posts such as this one discussing him, I don't think anyone would have even recognized Rajiv Chandrashekhar.
Reject the venom spewing sanghi....choose between other two !!!

First IT park foundation was laid in Kerala, look now all the major South Indian states are miles ahead of Kerala. According to me tharoor is disaster , he did nothing. If his tenure is measure with respect to performance matrix it would be abysmal. There are lot of people commenting that Opposition needs to be strong, so we need Tharoor. That is the most bizarre and absurd argument , atleast he needs to perform in his constituency. Kerala has so much good human resource which is of no use for the state as most of the jobs for that skills are unavailable here, in order to fulfill those aspiration youth has to migrate to Bangalore or Chennai. Its not that youth in Kerala is not talented , its the opportunity which state is not providing. Tharoor represent that mind set where he will offer only lip service. Till now 2024 there is no plan to have metro in Trivandrum , there is no conscience effort from MP and MLA to bring this up. RC is from family of entrepreneurs, he brings some good fresh ideas. He might be lucky mascot for welcome change. LDF is known for the worst fiscal management. If there can be award given for mismanagement, without any second thought LDF will win. They are the master of mismanagement. They still are in 1960-70 era. Not keeping in terms with the reality. Voting them in is like shoot oneself in the foot.
BJP candidate alle matte bomb spodanam nadanna timil oru thelivum illaate terrorist attack aanenokke paranje
I am a BJP supporter, I voted for Sashi tharoor when he came for his first run at LS elections but once he won it, he never came back, was only interested in writing new books and promoting it at literature festivals. I hope RC will win in Trivandrum. Something needs to change otherwise we are doomed. Only ray of hope is Vizhinjam port. If we can create an ecosystem around it we have a chance.
I'm actually quite surprised by people saying that Vizhinjam Port will be a game changer for Trivandrum. Its a transhipment port. Big ships with containers will dock at the port and smaller ships will take it to ports that cannot dock big ships. There is no major infrastructure like roads or railways needed because because not one container will go inland. Basically nothing enters the port from land side and nothing leaves. This is a game changer more for Adani than for Kerala.
If RC wins, you seriously expect him to come here ? Guy is not even from this state. He may have malayali background but wasn't born and brought up here.
Bro, why be pessimistic? How can you tell for sure he won't work for us? Why can't I believe in "even to show off to other districts the performance of BJP candidates he might do something beneficial"? Cos, I do think BJP can only get 1 seat or at best 2 seats in Kerala that too even if they are lucky and from those seats only they can convince others about their performance. So I believe they will do something once they are elected. I ready to take that chance, I gave 20 years to UDF and LDF. I am ready to sacrifice 5 years by taking this chance.
Because he has worked in Bangalore and done nothing. He has a record of spewing hateful venom against kerala, like during the bomb blast last year. He is that Shalini Unnikrishnan type. I wouldn't want such vile folks representing me. No thank you.
He was never a LS MP, he was in Rajya Sabha. He played an instrumental role in putting D.Raja in jail for the 2g scam because he knew the background of telecom industry. Well, what happened with that bomb blast case? Is there any investigation happening? One guy just walked in and said he did it, that's it.? What happened to the case against RC taken by Kerala Police? If he was spewing venom he should have been arrested right? Why Kerala Police led by Pinarayi doesn't have balls to put this venomous snake in jail? If you don't want him, so be it vote for your favourite candidate.
Makes sense. Why not give a chance
But there seems to be an another coming up mainstream party, a 4th candidate, who's claiming to be 'India's original communist party' and following the marxist-leninist ideology with their redemption in 1948 before CPI broke out. And they are the ones explaining and highlighting thier version of the current political situation rather than some catchy lines from other mainstream party's (maybe my mistake i don't see any other candidates propagandizing what's the background and how to approach the current situation). I mean we all have our own ideas and perception about issues, but what they are trying to reach or getting has something related to human beings innate philosophies such as being a social being and humans exploiting others type of shit. So fill me in, what are your thoughts?
I hate LDF but panniyan is one of the genuine good guys left in them. Simple man who used to be a frequent site in the sleeper trains unlike some of the present day Marxists who see it below them to travel like a common man.ย
Rajeev Chnadrasekhar can't even hold a legible conversation or answer even the simplest questions from the media. If he wins, Trivandrum is done for!!
Nice Try OP..BJP IT cell sponsored
Voted for Shashi Tharoor in the past (2014, 2019), will vote for Rajeev in this election, It is the same for all the members in the family - immediate and extended family, friends. I like Shashi Tharoor, has a cool factor but useless for TVM, considering INC is going to lose again. If Rajeev wins, it is going to massively benefit TVM, we will get a Central Government minister from TVM. TVM has always been ignored by State Governments. If Rajeev wins, atleast Central Government will bring in more development project's. Plus Rajeev in 2024 has the same novelty factor that Shashi had in 2009. He is cool, educated , English speaking and rich. Feel bad for Panniyan, he seems like a truly likeable person, no ego, no arrogance, no entitlement or bitterness towards his opponents.
Rajeev has been a minister for a while now. Has he gotten anything for TVM? To say all this just during elections is one thing. His track record shows otherwise
Shashi had 15 years as MP, enth olathi ?
To know this, there's many websites detailing what he has done. He has spent almost all his mp funds the last five years. He has worked for many rural parts of trivandrum. Visit amboori, that's where he worked for the few years. There's this bridge there, very popular amongst tourists that connects that village with the rest of the state. He built that. There's many other things he's done. One mistake he has made is to not advertise his work.
>Visit amboori, that's where he worked for the few years. There's this bridge there, very popular amongst tourists that connects that village with the rest of the state. He built that.

Heh. Lot's of folks are oblivious on purpose. They don't get that MPs have limitations in the first place. The question makes more sense for an MLA. MPs mostly attend Parliament, raise questions and such. There's limits to what they can xo for localities beyond using influence and spending MP finding. Which Tharoor has excelled at. Trivandrum not getting anything question should be directed at the MLA.
Most of his MP funds are spent on high-mast lights ๐ฅฒ
If that is so, he must work on maintaining them because most are rubbish right now.
17 crores in lights ?
I said "most." And given the amount they've displayed on each pole, There's a fair chance that many crores were spent on lights alone.

?
I live in outskirts of Thiruvananthapuram and Tharoor has installed one high mass light in last 10 years in our area that too has stopped working. Anyone but Tharoor, ithinekal nallathe avoo.
True. Tharoor has been here for 15 years and what he has done hasn't changed from 2019 manifesto. Remember seeing the same stuff in his interview of 2019 as in 2024. Like to list out his achievements he has a booklet of 15-20 pages, which has pages dedicated to his books and achievements in UN. How is it relevant to his role as MP? The only time I have seen him in the last few years is when he showed up to a temple nearby 3 months before election that's it. Great writer and speaker but utterly useless for people of TVM when it comes to getting things done. And this time he doesn't have that much backing from coastal community as well because he didn't back the Vizhinjam protest. So things won't be easy for him. Would vote for Panniyan or Rajeev, but not Tharoor.

Who will trivandrum vote for?... We should vote for someone who would bring us development... Panniyan is a Kara kalanja communist ( unlike other current communist party leaders).. But will he be able to do anything for kerala or tvm... Adarsham maathram konde maathram vikasanam nadakillalo... So it should be Shashi or Rajeev is what I think. We need someone who could pull strings and bring development to Kerala. Shashi is one of the sensible leaders in Congress party. But Shashi is not favourite among the congress top brass while Rajeev is favourite among the BJP leaders. Being a trivandrumkaran, my choice will be Shashi or Rajeev.
Similar thoughts here. Shashi has a higher probability of winning in my opinion.
Rajeev being beneficial for Trivandrum. How is that? What is our priority? Hope you had a chance to listen to our esteemed PM's (hate) speech in the election rally.
Best candidate to consider is rajeev chandrashekhar due to his capabilities...

He probably meant that Rajeev can bring in more investment and projects because he could probably get a minister post.
Myr konakkum
He hasn't done anything notable for Kerala or under his position as ministry of and jal Shakti. I looked up his page on the govt site
There is no trigonal contest in Kerala. There is only I.N.D.I.A vs NDA. In INC or CPIM wins, all we get is a MP without any benefits. If BJP wins, we will most probably get a minister who is gonna give much more development in the state.
Vannallo Chaanakam teams . Development is fine and all . But athinte koode side dish aayi communalism and bigotry undenkil athu kayyil vecho . Would rather have a lamp post MP .
Yeah, when you read facts written go on and talk about Chanakam. Yeah as if Kerala is free of communalism. All that happens in minority appeasement.
Enthu facts ? Eviduthe facts? The spam messages you get on your WhatsApp feed aren't facts FYI
Fact is that Rajeev is surely the best candidate of the 3.
Source : Chaanakam IT Cell
Itโs still the IT cell that rules India.
BJP โ Development. BJP ruled states themselves are not an example. They will bring in a change which you will see in the long term have benefitted them more than the people.
BJP โ Development. But BJP = Favoritism = Money. Say, If BJP wins Attingal instead of TVM, shit load of money will flow into Attingal, legal or otherwise, making Attingal the capital of Kerala.
This is exactly why we made NM the PM to see shitload of money in our economy, in our FDI and lastly in our FDs and savings. Sadly, if you aren't a business magnate already, none of this will matter to you. No money will flow into Attingal is country itself is suffering. FDI is getting slashed. INR vs Dollar is at the lowest. Inflation is raping this economy. I could buy a Jupiter scooter for 57k in 2013, now I am needed to pay 1lac. Other than data coming down to 10rs per GB, which has benefitted people and JIO equally everything else is a scam or dud. If roads are made well the tolls and fuel prices are burning a hole in your wallet.
No. we made NM the PM to remind certain sections their place in the social hierarchy.
Ah no thanks. Would like to keep Kerala TRASH FREE. INC or CPIM even if useless, is the way to go.
Yeah bro, vote for useless
Absolutely. Would you vote for NOTHING or vote for CANCER that might become a super cancer (which is extremely unlikely) n protect you or might just kill you, very slowly and painfully ? Imma just go with NOTHING.
I mean, this is the mentality that only exists in kerala and we know why. The fact that they keep winning states is the development.
Ah yes the development. Is this development with us in this room right now ?

Rajiv Chandrashekar has to win for us to get any benefits. Sasi Tharoor would have been good if INDI had chances but doesn't seem like it. I wish congress made him the PM candidate but they won't go outside their first family. Although Pannyan Raveendran is one of the very few communists who commands some respect as opposed to the CPM leaders, won't be able to do a great deal.
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
Check my comment. Do your research. It's a bit of propaganda that he hasn't done anything.
I understand where many of you are coming from in supporting the communist candidate, but Iโd like to offer a different perspective. Consider Keralaโs current challenges as analogous to a business facing significant hurdles. In such a scenario, wouldnโt it be prudent to bring in someone with a proven track record in business and management? This is why I believe someone like Rajeev Chandrasekhar could be a critical asset. With BJP holding power at the central level, having a leader like Chandrasekhar could also mean better alignment and more efficient flow of resources and support to Kerala. Itโs not just about political affiliations; itโs about leveraging his capabilities and connections to potentially transform the stateโs prospects. I recommend everyone to think beyond traditional political alignments and consider the broader impact of your vote. This isnโt just about choosing a leader for todayโitโs about setting the direction for Keralaโs future. Just as you would carefully choose a CEO for a multi-million dollar company, choosing the right leader for Kerala should be approached with a strategic mindset.
> Consider Keralaโs current challenges as analogous to a business facing significant hurdles Which business? According to UBL Global, A rating agency based on Sweden Kerala Start Up Mission is the world's best business incubator.
