THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Defending his recent article in an English daily that stirred a political controversy, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has clarified that not highlighting the industrial advancements made during the previous UDF regime was not intentional.
In a late-night Facebook post in Malayalam, he said: “The main focus of my article was the figures presented by the current Industry Minister, who stated that the CPI(M)’s general policy had not been industrial investment-friendly and has undergone changes.”
Tharoor’s clarification came in response to the political storm triggered by his article, in which he praised Kerala’s entrepreneurial growth under the LDF government. While his party questioned the basis of his claims, the CPI(M) welcomed them. PTI
