Shashi Tharoor.
The results of the Lok Sabha elections 2024 will be in front of your eyes in a few hours from now. In this episode, like the rest of the states of the country, the results of all the 20 Lok Sabha seats of Kerala will also be declared. Votes were cast in the second phase of polling in Kerala on 26 April and now their counting is going on today. Two Lok Sabha seats of Kerala will decide the fate of two big leaders of Congress. One of them is Rahul Gandhi and the other is Shashi Tharoor. While Rahul Gandhi has taken a long lead, on the other hand, the clouds of danger are looming over Shashi Tharoor. Shashi Tharoor has been trailing for a long time. He has been left behind by BJP candidate Rajiv Chandrashekhar.
How far behind is Shashi Tharoor
If we look at the figures, Rajiv Chandrashekhar has secured 284613 votes. Shashi Tharoor has got 282148 votes. In this respect, he is trailing by 2465 votes. This gap is constantly increasing and decreasing. By the way, Shashi Tharoor was trailing in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections as well. Then suddenly the tables turned. Talking about JP candidate Rajiv Chandrashekhar, if he wins this election, he will prove to be a trump card for the BJP in Kerala. By the way, Shashi Tharoor has been an MP continuously since 2009. If he wins this time, he will become an MP for the fourth time.
Who is Rajeev Chandrasekhar?
Rajiv Chandrashekhar is also the Minister of State in the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Electronics and Information Technology in the Modi government. He has been a Rajya Sabha MP three times. However, his term in the Rajya Sabha ended on 02 April 2024.
