Even after the elections, there is a lot of buzz about Tharoor. Last week some one in my office stated that if Tharoor wins and if the Congress forms a Govt, he will surely be made a minister in the cabinet. The inference being made was that it would be great for the development of Trivandrum and Kerala.
Problem is - with his background in international diplomacy chances are that he will be given a berth in the External affairs ministry. What we need are ministries like surface transport or industry. Look at what T R Baalu did for the Tamil Nadu roads.
Anyway the musings of my colleague were full of 'IFs' - if Tharoor wins and if the Congress forms the Govt at the centre. We will know the fate of the candidates in one month's time.
