Two arrested, Tharoor criticizes LDF government
Tharoor's gunman sustained minor injuries during the scuffle, leading to two arrests and an official police case.
Election officials say they're still looking into what happened.
Despite it all, Tharoor says this won't slow him down, he remains confident about the UDF's chances and didn't hold back on criticizing the current LDF government: They made the Kerala model a debt model.
