		<description>people get fooled into thinking BJP will do great. but its so obvious what their agenda is from events such as Godhra and Mangalore. the moment they gained some power, they have neutered the police and the communal divide has widened, with the minorities getting cornered. its the same thing that has happened in Kerala with the commies taking over policing and letting the DYFI and SFI goons do their own enforcement. but obviously they are a lesser evil than a force that will go on to divide India and ruin the very fabric of our nation.

its obvious that tharoor’s candidature is a breakthrough for politics in Kerala. not only will this inspire younger educated folks into taking reigns, but it should also distance the current bunch of criminals and looters away from power - atleast over a period of time! if we as a state remain blind and foolish enough to not vote for change, then we are done for.

i sincerely hope ST wins!</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see. Let&#039;s hope lotus will blossom here in tvm this time. My point is its easy to choose between evil and bad. :) So no Tharoor.

I am amazed at why everyone says &quot;I want BJP to come into power butBJP won&#039;t win so I wont vote for them&quot; Instead of telling this why can&#039;t everyone vote and let&#039;s see what will happen. Atleast we can tell we tried for a CHANGE. Right? :)</description>

		<description>Prasanth...I cant agree more with you on your points..Perfect. But the point here is, we all know for a fact that BJP is not going to win from Trivandrum (unfortunately). Lets face it..So then the question, who else to opt for. Communists are the biggest opportunists ever. More than the development of our country, they are interested in CHina and Russia. Then the last option is Congress. Here the point is, I feel a person like Shashi Tharoor with the vast experience he has can or I hope will certainly make a difference.</description>

		<description>Hi Hari, nice blog..well written and i must say that you have done a beautiful analysis. I am not a congress supporter..in fact i admit that i like certain ideologies of the BJP, the most important of them being the uniform civil code as i am a strong advocate for having the same laws for all the citizens of our country. Anyway i have to say that more than anything you have to vote for the person and not basically for the party. And my vote goes to Shashi Tharoor for what he is...We cannot expect a better candidate than him . In fact, it would be a embarrassing for all Trivandrumites if he loses (god forbid)  from Trivandrum...</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;@ All:&lt;/b&gt;
I&#039;m sorry, but none of the comments in this  post will elicit replies from me. The fact being that, this post has literally snowballed into quite a fight. I&#039;m a politically neutral person and by answering some comments, I might have to be judgemental at times, thus affecting my political views. 

However, feel free to voice your thoughts here - be it in support of Tharoor or against him. :-)</description>
