GJM supporters take out protest rally wearing traditional costumes

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticized the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front in Kerala, calling the so-called “Kerala model” a “debt model” due to rising state liabilities. Tharoor alleged misgovernance, highlighting a strong anti-incumbency sentiment against the LDF and positioning Congress as a credible alternative. He pointed out that the state government struggles to pay salaries by September, borrows heavily, and spends more on debt servicing than on development projects. Tharoor warned that limited job opportunities are driving young people to leave Kerala. He stressed that the state, once hailed as a model, has now reached a financial low, with growing fiscal pressures undermining its governance and growth.#shashitharoor #congress #kerala #ldf #debtmodel #keralapolitics #antincumbency
