The electoral fight between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress has taken a legal turn in the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency.
Union Minister of State for Information Technology and BJP’s candidate from Thiruvananthapuram Rajeev Chandrasekhar has slapped a legal notice on his Congress rival, Shashi Tharoor, accusing the latter of slander.
In the notice, Mr. Chandrasekhar accused Mr. Tharoor of making false and defamatory statements against him. He alleged that Mr. Tharoor sought to tarnish his reputation to gain an unfair advantage in the elections.
