An amazingly well attended students conclave in Ernad where I spoke in support of UDF candidate PK Basheer. Over six hundred jampacked the hall with standing room only in the aisles and another 300 spilled over outside. Again, great Q&A from our well-informed & thoughtful youth https://t.co/UASnVN35sO — PolitiTweet.org

Began the day with a press conference at Nilambur pointing out some aspects of the UDF #PeoplesManifesto that had escaped media attention. Highlighted our focus on revenue generating investment, a ban on forced closures thru hartals, our Education Review Commission & more. https://t.co/GtWWamZD5z — PolitiTweet.org

Shocked &saddened by the news of @anilDharker’s passing. The literary world will not be the same without him. His flair, wit &intelligence, his wide-ranging &eclectic tastes (always married to a respect for good writing)& his talent&energy for organisation make him irreplaceable. — PolitiTweet.org

Fifteen year old Mohammed Azeem is the walking definition of courage & determination. Born without arms & beset by other physical challenges, he has fought hard to pursue his studies & is now seeking the right return to the local school, where admission has been refused. #Respect https://t.co/9q403je1xe — PolitiTweet.org

After I hailed VV Prakash when he interrupted his pariyadanam to join me at this event, I found little fans coming up from the audience for their own pictures! Happy to oblige the next generation — after all, they’re what politics should be about! #AssemblyElections2021 https://t.co/lENwkmeXPQ — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Addressed an interactive session w/first-time voters in Edakkara in Nilambur constituency where VV Prakash is our candidate. He joined me on stage while the discussion was conducted by his successor as Malappuram District President of ⁦@INCKerala⁩, ⁦@AryadanShoukath⁩ https://t.co/FBiO66O0pw — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Addressed a huge public rally at Mukkam for UDF Thiruvambady candidate CP Cheriya Mohammed. It’s remarkable to see how clearly the wind is blowing our way while the “opinion polls” still reflect the ruling party’s fading advantages. #AssemblyElections2021 https://t.co/REJuly7T0a — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Thoroughly enjoyed the interaction with smart & occasionally provocative questions from the vast crowd, mainly focusing on education & employability, which remain key issues for Kerala’s young people. https://t.co/CsLKMLGrUq — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Terrific interactive session in Koduvally with & for my good friend & UDF candidate ⁦@MKMUNEER⁩ who has been asked to take on a new constituency after five terms. Over 10,000 people in attendance. Simply amazing. https://t.co/ijRLFj3iBd — PolitiTweet.org

Young Wayanad student Samaha came up to present me with a rather good drawing she had done of me — and then, perhaps inevitably, took a selfie! https://t.co/24xdGxUmGw — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

I was struck by the impressive quality & far-reaching nature of the questions asked by the young people at Kalpetta. With the candidate initially delayed campaigning elsewhere, I had to field them alone. Kerala is blessed w/abundant talent; we just need to channel it properly. https://t.co/T1usgGaRMk — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Delighted to campaign in Kalpetta for my colleague ⁦@TsiddiqueINC⁩, former ⁦@IYCKerala⁩ chief & staunch advocate of secular & progressive politics in the state. We had a great crowd of young people for an Interactive Dialogue that went on for over two hours. https://t.co/aJ23KvRp1Q — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Kerala nuns attacked by BajrangDal men in Jhansi: had our society been as vigilant in acting against those who commit real crimes against women as these zealots are in harassing them, we’d have a safer nation. But protecting women isn’t on the BJP agenda. https://t.co/2YmKCNROrs — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

As I travel through Wayanad today, my thoughts are never far from the seven Assembly candidates in my own parliamentary constituency of Thiruvananthapuram ! Jai ⁦@INCKerala⁩ https://t.co/PnCWHZDq9K — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

With the UDF candidate for Perambra, Dr K Ibrahim KUTTY, a well known philanthropist & educationist. Issued an endorsement video urging people to vote for him & bring a UDF government back to the State. @INCKerala https://t.co/kma5RXdEZW — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

NDA releases a Kerala manifesto that is a farrago of venomous claims on “love Jihad”, hollow promises & fantasy welfare schemes stolen from their opponents. https://t.co/bs8m5hyIVB The only consolation is that they will never be in a position to implement any of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

With two young fans in Kozhikode who honoured me with ⁦@INCKerala⁩ scarves that I promptly draped around their own necks! https://t.co/h7teUsInFR — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Began the morning with an early Interview with ⁦@mathrubhuminews⁩’ “Star Campaigner” programme, with PP Shasheendran & Madhu. What was meant to be a ten minute encounter turned into a stimulating 35 minute in-depth conversation that has made me late for the rest of the day! https://t.co/Mq0W3fdegb — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Inaugurated & addressed the concluding rally for ⁦@KMAbhijithINC⁩’s three day pariyadanam through his constituency. The turnout was amazing, especially given the late hour & the continuing pandemic. But in Kerala politics doesn’t stop even for a deadly virus. https://t.co/yChdodqcpU — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Joined ⁦@mkraghavaninc⁩ in a roadshow last night for ⁦@KMAbhijithINC⁩ in Kozhikode North. Great to see the enthusiasm of the public as they waved back at the candidate. We have a winner here! #AssemblyElections2021 https://t.co/dbZ9CUHeN3 — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Speaking for the youngest candidate in Kerala in #AssemblyElections2021, @nsui’s 26 year old KeralaStudentsUnion chief KM Abhijith in Kozhikode North. What a terrific young man — smart, impressive, articulate & thoughtful. He has a great future in politics & it begins now. https://t.co/55Zq8RC5a6 — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Greeting my Lok Sabha colleague MK Raghavan in Kozhikode last night & meeting ⁦@iumlofficial⁩’s first woman candidate in 25 years, Noorbina Rashid, for a campaign event in Kozhikode South.

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

This is an extremely serious issue. It raises questions about ElectionCommission voter registration practices, on-the-ground verification procedures, the “indelible” ink used (which some parties seem to have learned to erase) & the legitimacy of results in close races. — PolitiTweet.org

A detailed catalogue of the kind of mind it takes to rise to Chief Ministership in the BJP: https://t.co/vG8Dz3faUN One doesn't know whether to laugh at the BJP or to cry for our democracy, the cheapening of political discourse & the exaltation of both ignorance & sycophancy. — PolitiTweet.org
