Tharoor is good in giving eloquent speeches and has a cheerful, charming smile to take people onto his side. But that is not enough to remove the pot holes of TVM. His vision of making TVM a global city is a joke. Not even basic civic amenities like water and electricity, sewage overflowing, garbage everywhere, mallus peeing on walls, spitting everywhere, honking proudly and still shouting the 100% literacy mantra. Hypocrite lunatics. Chennai stole TVM airport. Where is Tharoor?
