June 4th 2024.
In Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala, the counting of postal votes on Tuesday showed a promising start for the sitting Congress MP from Wayand, Rahul Gandhi, and Shashi Tharoor. In the previous election in 2019, Gandhi had secured a landslide victory with a whopping 4.37 lakh votes in his favor.
Tharoor, who is seeking his fourth consecutive win, is facing stiff competition from Minister of State Rajeev Chandrasekhar of the BJP and former MP Paniyan Ravindran of the CPI. Kerala has a total of 20 seats in the Lok Sabha and in the last election, the Congress-led UDF had emerged victorious in 19 of them, while the CPI-M-led Left had managed to secure only one seat.
Clearly, both Gandhi and Tharoor have a strong support base in Thiruvananthapuram, as reflected in the initial results. As the counting of votes progresses, it will be interesting to see if they are able to maintain their lead and secure a victory once again. The people of Kerala have shown their trust in the Congress and its allies in the past, and it seems like this trend may continue in the current election as well.
However, the opposition is not backing down without a fight. Chandrasekhar and Ravindran are putting up a tough fight, and it remains to be seen how the final results will pan out. It is certainly a closely contested battle, and every vote counts in a democracy like ours.
As the nation eagerly awaits the final outcome of the election, all eyes are on Thiruvananthapuram and the performance of Gandhi and Tharoor. Will they be able to retain their seats and continue serving their constituents with dedication and commitment? Only time will tell. For now, we can only wait and watch as the counting of votes continues.
