The escalating war of words between Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar over the establishment of AIIMS in Kerala continued with fervor. Tharoor emphasized that no MP can independently pledge the setup of such a prestigious medical institution.
In a revealing social media post, Tharoor stated that despite his best efforts to secure AIIMS for his Thiruvananthapuram constituency, the central government approved Kerala's proposal to place AIIMS in Kozhikode.
Tharoor criticized BJP candidates for misleading voters about AIIMS' location, while Chandrasekhar countered by highlighting Tharoor's unfulfilled promises and asserted that a BJP representative would have ensured AIIMS in Thiruvananthapuram.
