Kerala Janapaksham (Secular) leader P C George Joins BJP Along With Party

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Janapaksham (Secular) supremo PC George along with two sons joined the BJP on Wednesday. His party was also merged into the BJP.

George is a seven-time member of the Kerala Legislative Assembly. He was the Chief Whip of the United Democratic Front (UDF) in the Oomen Chandy government.

George joined the BJP at a meeting held at BJP headquarters in Delhi. PC George’s sons, Shone George and George Joseph Kakkanad also joined the BJP.

Union Ministers Rajeev Chandrasekhar, V Muraleedharan, along with BJP leaders Prakash Javadekar and Anil Antony received PC George were present when George was inducted into the BJP in New Delhi.

Union Minister of State for External Affairs V Muralidharan said that with PC George joining the BJP, the misconception that the party is anti-minority has been dispelled.

“Our party members wish for this merger. If such a decision is taken, it won’t be a merger as ours is a very small party and it would be like a small stream joining a river. India is fortunate to have one of the best prime ministers in its history. Party activists have opined that we should support him,” George said on Tuesday in Kottayam, before leaving for New Delhi.
