While Tharoor had instantly introduced his choice to go by the social gathering directive, Thomas, who has gave the impression to be sulking after being denied a celebration ticket within the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, is but to make any such announcement.
On Wednesday, he advised reporters in Kochi, “I would announce the decision on Thursday, The present political situation in the country demands the emergence of a non-BJP political alliance at the national level.”
Reacting to this, Congress state president Okay Sudhakaran mentioned, “Thomas would attend the seminar only if has any plan to leave the Congress. I hope he would not attend the CPI(M) event. Maintaining suspense over the decision may be his tactics.”
The state management of the Congress has been against any risk of social gathering leaders attending a CPI(M) occasion at a time when the social gathering is spearheading the agitation in opposition to the Left authorities in Kerala over the semi-high pace rail hall. It was based mostly on this that the social gathering excessive command denied permission to Tharoor and Thomas to attend the CPI(M) seminar when the 2 leaders approached it.
