Kerala Congress Cools Tharoor’s CM Ambitions: “Party Comes First”
A budding conflict is brewing within the Kerala Congress as Shashi Tharoor’s aspirations to become the next Chief Minister are met with resistance. Senior party leaders have emphasized the established process for selecting a CM candidate, seemingly sidelining Tharoor’s open campaign.
Tharoor’s Self-Promotion Sparks Controversy
Tharoor’s recent activities, including sharing a survey that portrays him as a favored CM choice, have sparked controversy within the party ranks. This self-promotion has been perceived by some as undermining the party’s unity and established procedures.
Kerala Leaders Prioritize Party Over Individual Aspirations
Senior Congress leaders in Kerala have reiterated that the party’s interests take precedence over individual ambitions. They insist that the established internal process for selecting a CM candidate will be followed, effectively downplaying Tharoor’s public pronouncements and aspirations.
