Among the 34 Union Ministers whose names featured in BJP’s first list of 195 candidates released last weekend was Rajeev Chandrasekhar, who has been fielded from Thiruvananthapuram, a seat in Kerala considered Congress leader Shashi Tharoor’s stronghold. While Congress has yet to announce its candidate from the constituency, if they choose to field Tharoor again, it will be one of the high-profile contests in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024. Fielding Chandrasekhar is part of BJP’s aim to make inroads in Kerala, where it had failed to win any seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. In one of his recent visits to Kerala, Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about the goal of achieving a two-digit figure in the state in the upcoming Lok Sabha 2024 polls. #RajeevChandrasekhar #Thiruvananthapuram #LokSabhaElections #KnowYourMP #ThiruvananthapuramMPRajeevChandrasekhar #CongressMPRajeevChandrasekhar #IndianPolitics #Congress #PoliticalCareer #Leadership #ElectionCampaign #ThiruvananthapuramConstituency #PoliticalJourney #ElectoralStrategy #CongressLeader #RajeevChandrasekharInThiruvananthapuram #PoliticalMilestones #IndianDemocracy #ElectionDecision #CongressParty #VoteForRahul #PoliticalLegacy #CampaignTrail ~PR.152~ED.103~GR.124~HT.96~

Antony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, has initiated a series of discussions with Israeli leaders to address the issue of increasing humanitarian aid into Gaza.
