Who is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's alternative? What Shashi Tharoor said

Tharoor said a journalist had asked him about the alternative to PM Modi. He said that the question of who could be an alternative to PM Modi is “irrelevant” in the parliamentary because we do not elect an individual, but a party or coalition of parties.

“Yet again a journalist has asked me to identify an individual who is the alternative to Mr Modi,” he wrote on X.

Tharoor said, unlike a presidential system, the Indian electorate is not electing an individual. Hence, the question is irrelevant.
