ADVERTISEMENT"I've never strayed from the party line. I will be actively campaigning for the UDF candidates in Kerala during the imminent Assembly polls. During the 2021 Assembly elections, I’d actively campaigned for 59 candidates. According to a Congress leader, Tharoor had initially expressed interest in addressing certain issues within the party at the summit but chose restraint.
