Rising tensions with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi have Shashi Tharoor, the well-known Congress Member of Parliament from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, allegedly pondering a change to the Left Democratic Front (LDF). Growing discontent with the Congress leadership, especially about being underlined despite his electoral achievements and public appeal, Tharoor’s possible desertion has spurred rumors. His recent praise of the industrial policies of the LDF government has heightened Congress party internal strife. A purportedly scheduled meeting between Tharoor and LDF officials in Trivandrum on February 10, 2025, points to grave political future considerations. This possible action could drastically change the political scene of Kerala, therefore undermining the Congress’s power in the state.
