Shashi Tharoor questions Kerala’s aid to Turkey

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has stirred a new debate in Kerala by questioning the state government’s decision to donate Rs 10 crore to Turkey after the 2023 earthquake. He said the money could have been better used in Wayanad. Notably, Priyanka Gandhi is the MP from Wayanad. CPM leader John Brittas hit back, but is Tharoor signaling something deeper—possibly to his own party? Tharoor’s ambition to become Kerala’s CM is well-known.
