Minister of State for external affairs, Shashi Tharoor
Thiruvananthapuram: On his first visit here after joining the Union Council of Ministers, former UN envoy and Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor Saturday called on Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan and promised to strive for development of the city, from where he made his debut to Lok Sabha.
Later, in a chat with reporters, Tharoor said the Chief Minister reciprocated by offering the state government's support to his efforts for development of the state capital.
Earlier on his arrival at the airport, he was given a rousing reception by Congress workers.
Tharoor said he had already held discussions with ministers of various departments on projects in his constituency, which included the long-pending demand of setting up a bench of the Kerala High Court in the capital.
Hope Tharoor leaves a good precedence for others to emulate.
