Tharoor-Rahul Patch-Up: Congress's Lifeline in Kerala Ahead of Crucial Elections

• Shashi Tharoor's meeting with Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi signals a crucial reconciliation for Congress in Kerala.
• The 'patch-up' is vital for the Congress-led UDF before the Kerala Assembly elections, addressing Tharoor's isolation.
• It sends a strong message of unity to party workers, countering factionalism and appeasing allies like IUML.
• Tharoor, with his appeal to educated, salaried, and young voters, is seen as a key figure to challenge LDF's dominance.
• The unity counters BJP's 'directionless Congress' narrative and positions Tharoor to campaign across all 140 constituencies.
