Tharoor Confident in UDF's Resurgence in Kerala

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor predicts a victory for the United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala's state elections. With confidence in winning over 75 seats, Tharoor remarks on the challenges of exit polls, especially citing the unreliability of responses in Bengal. Results are expected to be announced on May 4.

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor expressed strong confidence on Thursday in the United Democratic Front's (UDF) prospects in Kerala's elections, suggesting the alliance will secure more than 75 out of 140 state seats.

Tharoor, familiar with Kerala's political landscape, said the exit polls, predicting a UDF win, came as no surprise. He emphasized the influence of regional, gender, and class dynamics on polling accuracy.

Highlighting issues in West Bengal where 60% of respondents reportedly didn’t participate in exit polls, Tharoor questioned their reliability. Election results for Kerala and other states are due on May 4.
