Shashi Tharoor is surely the pride of India, whatever his political affiliation may be. Civilized but always sharp, cordial but always incisive. Truly delightful.
Maybe that he having lived in the West could smell deception that we notice abroad
Always a pleasure to listen to him and P Chidambaram . Well put.
What pride? These are the fellows who sold away India to western, and also to racism. Education in India is writing and speaking a language,means class five or six, no match to degree holdres
This man should be congress president and prashant kishor should guide shashi tharoor and sachin pilot and mass organise the party to defeat the bjp nationally.. master the 5M strategy
Prashant kishor strategy is NOTHING infront of BJP chanakya Amit Shah
Bjp supporter here. I like this idea. At the end of the day, the development of our country matters more than who is at charge.
Raga is a clown. Our country deserves someone better as opposition leader.
Absolutely, most underutilized politician
not everyone in india speak english
@@lookintoit4537 true bjp supporter too , like BJP get good competition right now .
Yes...an MP's job is not just development with just 5 crores a year - It can be done by a consultancy. Law-making should be the focus, and meaningful interventions in politics, which Shashi Tharoor is remarkably good at. Had I been a voter of Trivandrum, would definitely vote for him.
He should quit as MP and try to become CM of Kerala, there is no leader with his profile in Kerala State politics. All the problems he wants to solve are state issues and won't get solved with him in Modi's parliament.
indeed
Of course
😅😅@@juniorstrange
Only wish Shashi and the likes had all the power and resources to make India and the live of people better. Wish him all the luck for the 4th term.
Such honest and well grounded articulation - it is a delight to hear him!
Ability to speak in in Hindi is absolutely necessary to succeed in Indian politics.
Don't say he is honest...That word will lose it's relevance and authenticity
It's always a pleasure to listen to Shashi Tharoor 😊
Really the pride of India... Wishing Shashi Tharoor all the best to come out with flying colours and then see him as the Union minister/Chief Minister of Kerala.... All Trivandrummites, please go in large numbers and elect him
Jai..Shashi Tharoor.
You are the best MP candidate of Kerala.
It's our loss if we can't make you win.
We welcome you to Ernakulam. Ernakulam need a person like you to develop our 'metro' city.Hibi is okay.But no where near you in knowledge ,efficiency and connections❤
One politician I have immense respect , probably only one r from congress,though I don’t agree with them on many subjects
He should be PM
All Tharoor critics to listen please .
Exactly
Both of you are convincing. We are now proud to be a Keralites
Industries and employment?
Great interview thanks for asking tough questions 😊
Whenever i see Mr Shashi Taroor in news, my mind remember his calculations on Colonial british loot from 250 years of slavery rule of india.
He said colonial British had stolen and looted USD 45 trillion from india.
Has he filed any case against UK on this issue?
He can't. He is too close to the Gandhi family who are anti national
@@Gappasappa do u have any brain cells working while saying that shashi can not speak against britishers bcoz of Gandhis while he has literally done this multiple from times from the biggest of the stages while staying one of the most prominent leader of the party? Do you ppl completely switch off your brain while supporting BJP? It was RSS/BJP who always supported britishers. Congressis fought against them then and now congress MPs and ex minister like Shashi are holding them accountable for their crimes
@@rajeshbarwal4177what a joke😂😂😂. So called gandhi and nehru were british agents. Why gandhi sent millions of indian troops to world war to fight for british rathet against the british? Don't compete with pappu on third grade comedy, Lick the boots of pappu, but don't compete with pappu..
When nehruvian secularism was in power for 65 year with no hindu muslim fighting😊 and only focus on education and growth :-
1) we had 1984 .
2) most communal violence happened in this regime.
3)26/11 happened and in aftermath , we did what exactly?
4) poverty at its peak .
5) joblessness
6) women safety at worst .
7) secularist throwing opposition out of power by misusing president rule .
8) caste discrimination .
9) bollywood having free pass to mock and question Hinduism and its tradition (karva chaut )
But never showed anything similar in other religion
10) indoctrination of our children with theories like we are a defeated community since they only highlighted battles that we lost . No talk of bappa rawal who won entire central asia single handedly.😏
If a rationale rebuttal is made, the list of infamous accomplishments of this Amrita kaal era will possibly triple your list honorable Sir. Let us make constructive criticism and you will know where we stand as a nation.
For one.. in this dispensation corruption has been institutionalised. The general public too is party to it. That sums up the state of an indoctrinated nation.
@@wanderingmystic6968if modi govt is fascist and undemocratic as pseudo liberals claim . Then why is india not rich when it was governed by a secular govt for 65 freaking years . Why communal violence was at its peak under secular cangress ??? Can you answer that sir ??🤗
BJP can Make India 🇮🇳 Great Again (MIGA). Others, as of today, have no ability.
@@nobudget2547 Because you don't have an idea how high the stakes were post-independent for at least 30 years. India had 16% literacy rate, hundreds of small princely states, a few large ones, some dissidents. The British govt left India like that, we had food shortages, immigration problems and what not. 200 years of looting ended in 1947. What do you expect immediately after that? We'd become a superpower in a year, or in ten years, or in 7 decades? Do you know how much time it took for the United States to surpass the UK as a global superpower? Sure, Nehru fucked up on trusting the Chinese, but he defended India from becoming a Vassal state of US and the Soviet Union. Nehru and Patel integrated India. You guys all credit Patel and discredit Nehru. Well, Patel wasn't interested in Kashmir as much as he was interested in some other states, like Hyderabad or Junagarh. Sure he fucked up going to the UN, and lost 1/3rd of Kashmir, but whatever part of Kashmir we administer currently, is with us because of Nehru only. There's no handbook back then that you could look at. Nobody spoon-fed anything to anyone back then. We had to build our country from scratch. You can't even comprehend how the situation was in post-independent India. Even if you compare with the last govt, UPA, economically UPA surpasses NDA's 10 years in every major metric except for inflation. GDP tripled during 2004-2014. GDP has only doubled during 2014-2024. Exports rose multiple time, much more than NDA. FDI growth in UPA was much more than NDA. Modi got a very good growing nation in 2014, a 2 trillion dollar economy and struggled to get it past 4 trillion in 10 years. Stop being a fanboy and read history with an open mind. Get the facts right, and build opinion on top of that.
@@abhisek-chatterjee it took china 30 years to become a giant. In 1980s india and china had the same per capita income . How come in 30 years it became a giant while we barely crossed 1 trillion mark ??🤗
Tharoor is a gentleman. He properly and promptly pay the amount to whoever deserves it.
He said the same with Vice lmao
Last election
Multitalented leader
He has a point on BJP desperately looking for allies. They also made a huge gamble by not giving tickets to many sitting MPs. I just hope is wrong. I cannot imagine the disaster that will prevail if the INDI Alliance wins.
Dont be complacent like we were in 2004 when everyone thought Vajpayee would win a second term. Instead we had 10 years of incompetence on all fronts except the rampant pandering to all manner of anti national elements including Jihadi outfits. Go vote for the election even if you are in a coma.
U are an English speaking fanatic bhakta ...
@@zakmar9327 At least I am not an English speaking Islamist like you who wants a Gajwa-e-hind
@@zakmar9327 So what? I am a development Bhakth with brains! I wear it on my sleeve proudly! I am not brainless zombie like dynasty slaves!
Much respect, all I have to stay, the rest is politics.
He will win since Latin Catholics already given circulation that shouldn't vote for BJP
Every govt give citizens the basics potable water 24 /7 and electricity and good civic infrastructure. Saying we are developed economy going to be etc can be talked about after these basics….pls demand more from your MP MLA
Mr Tharoor is a highly knowledgeable person who is a voracious reader, a prolific writer and an eloquent speaker. There is no match to him. His potential is not fully utilised by the Congress party. My salute to Mr Tharoor.
Good questions good answers
I watched both interviews that this Print reporter had - the one with Chandrasekhar and the one with Tharoor. Without a doubt, the reporter asked more biased and contoversial. questions to Chandrasekhar than to Tharoor. The reporter allowed Tharoor a longer rope, and allowed Tharoor more time to speak by not interrupting him as much as he did with Chandrasekhar. It appears that the reporter did what he could to show Tharoor in good light, and to show Chandrasekhar in bad light. However, the reporter failed in his attempts, and Chandrasekhar gave terrific replies to fix the reporter.
Pm Shashi Tharoor!
taroor❤
Tharoor @his very best..
The people of Thiruvananthapuram will be doing the nation a great good by electing him as their MP for the 4th time too! 🎉🎉
The nation needs him in the parliament..
Rajiv.C can always come into the rajya sabha !? 😂😊❤
I wish he won the Congress president election. It may not help in winning 2024 but congress may have got a genuine non Gandhi main leader
RC, aa?! Seriously? Bjp is hallucinating 😅
That too for Thiruvanthapuram, with mallu ST!
Shashi Tharoor is glittering jewel shining in Indian parliament

I would, majority of my friends are expecting Mr Sashi tharoor to be with BJP
Let the spirit of our constitution be won in the election.Work hard make young India to realize that India is for all human and be free from division .
Kapil is not interested in corporate finance to political parties BEFORE the introduction of Electoral Bonds.
What was he doing then ? It used to be 100% quid pro quo and also black money .
P
Electoral Bonds were an improvement, atleast Kapil can now name the reciepient and also the donor.
He says don't believe the surveys,but indicates how some survey is giving high seats for Congress in Karnataka and Telegana.
Hypocracy as usual
When did he say that he doesn't believe in all surveys?
@@LaPlaya-rw1cp9:42😮😮8:38
Ikr 😂😂
@@nobudget2547 Did you miss the word "all" in my comment?
Fix your spelling first...the word hypocrisy was coined for BJP supporters and leaders
Shashi should be Congress PM contestant... We will like to support him
Everything is mind blowing about congress all time support on historical basis. One thing is that is they should be tolerant socially in every walks of life because common well and and common understanding of INC should be served
Which resort is that you are staying at? I want to stay and enjoy there too…
On one hand, he says surveys are not to be relied upon and within 2 mins he quotes surveys in Karnataka and Telangana to buttress his argument that Congress is gaining.
He says the result turned out to be the opposite of the survey.
That home will lose this time, let me take the famous quote once you said "All hat and no cattle" Which is very much a metaphor to you
He knows what he is talking about thats the difference
In CAA, Muslims are not included, but that doesn't mean they are excluded, as they still have the normal route to get citizenship. The priority is given to other religions due to religious persecution in those countries. Everyone is trying to twist facts to suit their politics.
No questions on the UCC?
Hoping that Rajeen chandrasekhar wins this time. Trivandrum lags behind the other south indian capitals in all parameters - examples include a stagnant technopark, smallish airport, No metro etc
Shashi & Congress & the communists is directly responsible for that.
Election Process are going on then how can justify the misuse of Central agancies against non-BJP leaders all over India?.
Shashi ji one of the best in congress..also show how congress gets the best well educated people unlike bjp are bankrupt and breakaway congress people
Right person in wrong/outdated party with obviously wrong ideologies
Babasaheb Ambedkar was in favour of complete population transfer.... please go and read his book... don't fool people here 😅
😮 you talk 🦜 alot
Articulation alone cannot give him the necessary power. Antonia Mainos will never give him a chance to be PM!!
Very impressive interview listing what he has done for the constituency in the last 15 years. No wonder his opponents Pannyan Raveendran and Rajeev Chandrasekhar refused to come on an open debate on TV. They will be caught by Shashi Tharoor with their lies and false promises being told to the voters.
Barcelona Shashi💪💪💪💪💪
Sasi Tharoor : There is no chance for BJP in this election is where He lost me.
The Anchor Mr
ANAND has to a be a better articulator for himself and for The Print. With someone like Dr.Tharoor seated across, Mr.Anand should have been far more clear and precise in what he wishes to ask Dr. Tharoor. I felt Mr.Anand needs to better prepared and speak more articulation
Tharoor can tackle any anchor in India or abroad like Karan Thapar or anyone else.
But, inspite of all these, Rajiv Chandrasekhar would be the right choice because of BJP in Centre
But Rahul is the Congress Party 's greatest disadvantage.
Tharoor ..you are not truthful about BJP
Truth may be bitter
Yeah D'Souza ji..like your emotions on June 4th
@@user-sc7md2qb5y Water for burnt areas
It appears that Shashi Tharoor smokes hashish during the day or he is one of the intellectuals who advise Rahul Gandhi. He appears to need help urgently.
If he truly believes what he is saying, then he is extremely innocent about how governments work.
100% sure he is not going to win this occasion.

If he wins? What are you going to do?

Dr. Shashi Tharoor a Vishwa Powran has to retire from politics after a three time MP from Trivandrum, could not do much for Trivandrum. Time to quit and give path for a new comer who will do something for Trivandrum.
The common man will win from Thiruvananthapuram, the man from cattle class
Would be great to see this kind of discussion in the north
Blah blah blah, he fooled voters for 15 years and he's back again. Earlier he wanted to make Thiruvananthapuram Barcelona, now he doesn't wanna talk about it. Last time he said it was gonna be his final election contest, and he's repeating it again 😂

Congress lost its best chance when they lobied against Shashi Tharoor for the Congress president election. He would have changed the face of Congress and brought a new perspective. Kharge is not a bad president but he is stale. He doesn't bring anything new to the party. It's the same old 🐂 💩.

What is Thaoor contribution to the development of his constituency, answer is none. This time it is not easy for Tharoor due to the presence of Rajeev Chandrasekhar. Trivandrum need a MP who can bring in development not a MP to showcase . Tharoor failed In meeting expectations of people in the constituency.
No doubt you are able and efficient, but can you have the same honesty,why Congress party, don't pay income tax or file returns? Or you just another crook ?🥴😡
Empty vessels make verbal diarrhea!
aha
Sasi Tharoor is a womenisor. How can be he a rivel to Shree Rajeev Chandrasekhar?
The quality of voters in Trivandrum is tested by the election result .
He was a big failure as MP . Got 15 years to serve the TVM constituency , off that 5 years he was a minister & now he is asking what the BJP candidate did for TVM. He can’t even go to some areas in Trivandrum to ask for vote . all he has to say is secularism , BJPs threat to democracy & Kejriwal . Another typical India politician. Such a shame.
