Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K Sudhakaran has said that he had advised party MP Shashi Tharoor with regard to the latter's opinion on the growth of start-ups under the CPM-led Left Democratic Front.
"I have given good advice to him on the basis of my personal equation with him. Every one will have individual opinions. But the party's opinion will be final, " said Sudhakaran.
Sudhakaran was learnt to have spoken to Tharoor over phone as per the instructions of the AICC.
Meanwhile, Tharoor on Monday shared a poster in connection with the deaths of Youth Congress activists Sarathlal and Kripesh and attacked the CPM for 'murder politics', which was shared by the party supporters as well.
Later Tharoor replaced it with a picture of Sarathlal and Krispesh and made a post that in democratic politics violence is not a solution for differences of opinion.
Opposition leader V D Satheesan told reporters that the Left Democratic Front government was making bogus claims over the industrial growth and ease of doing business in the state.
"If the government's claim that three lakh fresh ventures were started in the state in three years, there should be over 2,000 ventures in each constituency. Where is the investment from the three lakh ventures. If that was true Kerala's contribution to the GDP should have gone up. The LDF government is trying to mislead people," said Satheesan.
