THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said Friday it would be better for the INDIA front not to project any prime ministerial candidate in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections. The elections should not be fought on faces but on issues, he added.
“I am of the view that the front should sit and discuss on who should become the prime minister only after the elections. Hence, I believe that Rahul Gandhi should not be projected as the prime ministerial candidate,” Tharoor told mediapersons, adding that the INDIA front is marching ahead and emerging at a rapid pace.
Tharoor, who was recently made a CWC member, said: “I hope to contribute in whatever way the party finds useful, in the committee and outside the committee as well. For us now, I think the immediate focus, the immediate priority has to be the elections of 2024 or perhaps sooner. We don’t know whether there might even be early polls as some are suggesting. But whatever happens, we have to be ready to face the people of India and to take back power for them.”
Tharoor said that he had contested the AICC presidential election with the support of many like-minded leaders. “I strongly believe that I became a CWC member because of all the support I received during the election,” he added.
