The union minister whom the BJP has named from Thiruvananthapuram, while speaking to the reporters here, said that the candidates fielded against him "are more interested in fighting for the Muslim vote".
Union Minister Rajeev Chandrashekhar on Wednesday took a swipe at Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, saying that the grand old party candidate from Thiruvananthapuram for the Lok Sabha elections, is getting a bit "desperate about the anti-BJP vote".
The union minister whom the BJP has named from Thiruvananthapuram, while speaking to the reporters here, said that the candidates fielded against him "are more interested in fighting for the Muslim vote".
"I saw the Congress candidate from Thiruvananthapuram, Shashi Tharoor getting a bit desperate about the anti-BJP vote. He and his INDI partner, the left, have engaged in a fairly planned effort at distorting what the CAA is to scare one community of people in Kerala. This leads me to one conclusion these candidates are more interested in fighting for the Muslim vote than really engaging in what this election is really about..." he said.
