Lok Sabha elections 2024: Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor said during an interview that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would register a 'zero' in the Lok Sabha polls in three of the four southern states: Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh . However, Congress MP Tharoor left Karnataka out of these predictions and said, “BJP is going to do worse than last time”.
In an interview with PTI, Shashi Tharoor claimed that BJP will draw a blank in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh while performing worse than 2019 in Karnataka.
Shashi Tharoor, in his Lok Sabha Elections Result 2024 prediction, also noted that “it looks increasingly likely that the BJP-led NDA government will lose its majority.”
'They only had a margin of 32 seats in 2019, an election in which they achieved the maximum in all their strong states. In each of these states where the BJP did so well, according to the most conservative analysis, they are losing a number of seats. '400 'pairs' is a joke, '300 pairs' is impossible, '200 pairs' could be a challenge for them to get,” senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have gone all out to make progress in India's southern states to fulfill their 'Abki baar, 400 pairs' claim for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
“In the South, there is absolutely no doubt that the BJP will do worse than last time. In the North, as I said, they did so well last time that it is absolutely impossible to repeat this.” Shashi Tharoor predicted the fate of the BJP in the general elections.
Maintaining mystery over the performance of Congress and INDIA bloc in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Shashi Tharoor said: “How well we do and how well the other INDIA alliance parties do remains to be seen”.
During the interview, Shashi Tharoor, who was embroiled in a three-way battle between BJP minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar and P. Raveendran in Thiruvananthapuram, said he is looking for a comfortable victory.
If Shashi Tharoor wins the Thiruvananthapuram seat for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, it will be his fourth consecutive victory, making the author-turned-politician the longest-serving MP from the constituency.
