Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has been booked for allegedly carrying out a false campaign against Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar, PTI reported on Sunday.

The case was registered on April 15 on a complaint by Bharatiya Janata Party leader JR Padmakumar, who accused Tharoor of making defamatory statements against Chandrasekhar during a television programme.

Tharoor will contest against Chandrasekhar in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram constituency on April 26.

Padmakumar has alleged that Tharoor accused Chandrasekhar of influencing voters in coastal regions during the general elections, according to PTI.
