Union Minister Rajiv Chandrashekhar on Tuesday gave a befitting reply to Congress leader Shashi Tharoor’s ‘no sense’ comment, saying he does not want any certificate from a person who has not done any work for 15 years.
“That’s fine. I don’t want any certificate from someone who hasn’t done any work for 15 years. If he thinks being an MP means not doing any work, that’s his interpretation of his work,” the senior BJP leader told Year.
,My explanation is that being a responsible, sensitive and sympathetic MP, when I see some problems, I try to solve them. “They believe in writing letters when they see problems,” he said.
The comments came after Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor launched a scathing attack on Rajeev Chandrasekhar, saying “he has no understanding of how much an MP can do and how much he cannot do”.
Chandrasekhar took a train to travel from Parasala to Thiruvananthapuram Central on Tuesday as part of his Lok Sabha election campaign.
Interacting with locals on the stage, the BJP leader said that since many people use the train for morning travel, it is an opportunity for him to meet many people and share his views about the constituencies. It was a good opportunity.
“This is a predominantly rural constituency where many people are engaged in traditional agricultural occupations. This is part of the vision that I have to transform Parasala and one of the things is what I intend to do for Parasala in the next five years and will also hear from them,” he said during the BJP election campaign.
“People are fed up with no progress, no jobs and no development. There is increasing frustration among the youth regarding the high unemployment rate and everyone wants some change. People want to hear how an MP, a party or a leader can change and better their lives,” the minister said.
Voting for all 20 Lok Sabha seats in Kerala will be held in a single phase on April 26. Counting of votes will take place on June 4.
