Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency: The constituency will vote on April 23 in the third phase of Lok Sabha election. Candidates who will be up in the key contest are Congress' Shashi Tharoor, CPI(M) C Divakaran and BJP's Kummanam Rajasekharan.
Former Union Minister and senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, who is the sitting MP in the region, is no doubt one of the strong candidates in Thiruvananthapuram but the local opinion polls have shown BJP's Kummanam taking a leading edge in the constituency.
In 2014 elections also, Shashi Tharoor was on the verge of losing the seat, however, he bounced back in the last round of counting and won the election with a margin of just 15,000 votes.
Thiruvananthapuram is yet another seat which the BJP is eyeing to grab in the forthcoming election as going by past results, Congress vote share decreased by 10% while BJP's vote shared had registered an increase of 20%.
Out of 20 Lok Sabha seats, the Congress is contesting on 16 seats and has allotted 4 to its alliance partners.
As part of NDA's alliance in Kerala, BJP is contesting on 14 seats, Bharat Dharma Jana Sena (BDJS) on 5 seats and PC Thomas-led Kerala Congress on 1 seat.
