Monetary Policy Committee meet: RBI may cut interest rate to support GDP growth

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, speaking from Palakkad, Kerala, dismissed the BJP as a serious contender in the upcoming assembly elections, calling them a “zero seat party.” Tharoor urged voters not to waste their votes on the BJP, which, he said, cannot alter the state’s political future even if it wins a few seats. He emphasized the need for a strong UDF government and expressed confidence in candidates like young Sumesh Achidan to bring a complete change in Kerala’s governance and mindset. Tharoor asserted that the LDF’s days are numbered, predicting their defeat on April 9 and celebrating a UDF victory by May 4.
