Kerala Seat Shows Rahul Gandhi's Strength Over PM Modi: Shashi Tharoor | Read

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Sunday rejected claims that party chief Rahul Gandhi was hedging his bets by contesting from Kerala's Wayanad, in addition to Amethi in Uttar Pradesh. The truth, he maintained, was quite the opposite. "Rahul Gandhi is actually trying to demonstrate that he - as a candidate poised to be the next Prime Minister of India - enjoys electability in both North and South India. It's a swipe at Narendra Modi, who we all know has absolutely no chance of winning in the South," the Congress parliamentarian from Thiruvananthapuram said.
