Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the former Minister of State for Electronics and IT, recently announced that he was hanging up his socks after an 18-year-long career as a parliamentarian, including his three-year stint as a Union Minister. Putting to rest any confusion that may have arisen from a previous tweet, Chandrasekhar explained his position in a recent update on the X social media platform. He promptly deleted the tweet himself so that it would not further add to any misconceptions.
"To avoid any further complexities on this, the tweet stands deleted," he said.
"My work and commitment to taking India forward and Thiruvananthapuram, as a karyakarta of BJP remains as relentless as before," he added.
Emphasizing trajectory of advancing India and Thiruvananthapuram constituency as a worker of BJP party, Chandrasekhar reiterated in no uncertain terms that his commitment to responsibility remains steadfast. However impressive this figure is, at 3,42,078 votes, it was Chandrasekhar who was given the thumbs-down by the competitor on counting day when Congress bigwig Shashi Tharoor defeated him. Tharoor, with 3,58,155 votes, emerged victorious once again in the hustings from this constituency, presenting himself as a formidable challenger to the campaign run by Chandrasekhar.
