Your campaign slogan is ‘Ini Kaaryam Nadakkum’ (Now things will happen)… what things haven’t been done in this constituency by the sitting MP (Shashi Tharoor) so far? What do you propose to do for the constituency if your party wins?
‘Ini Kaaryam Nadakkum’ is a deeper statement saying that ‘it is time’… that Thiruvananthapuram in particular and Kerala in general join the mainstream of development and economic growth that most of India is witnessing today. So ‘Ini Kaaryam Nadakkum’ is a message that for several years and decades, Thiruvananthapuram has lacked development, investments and jobs, and therefore as the Supreme Court said, as for Kerala’s economy and in the Thiruvananthapuram case as well, things are not in good shape and so ‘Ini Kaaryam Nadakkum’ is a call to action saying let’s make things happen again… let’s make work again, let’s make the government and politics work for people.
