NDTV
In a recent TV show, Shashi Tharoor repeatedly said the 2024 Lok Sabha elections may mark his final contest from the Thiruvananthapuram constituency.
Congress Working Committee member and Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor spoke on Thursday about providing opportunities for younger people to contest polls, indicating that his upcoming fight from Thiruvananthapuram in the general elections may be his last in the constituency.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a Congress programme in Thiruvananthapuram, Mr Tharoor, however, said there was no finality about it since it is politics. "I do believe that at some point, the time comes to make room for younger people. And that's my thinking," he said.
In the same breath, he said, "In politics, there is another slogan which is 'never say never'".
