Kerala Industries Minister P. Rajeeve on March 7 said that there is “nothing new” in Congress leaders’ children joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“When (Congress leader) A.K. Antony’s son joined the BJP, neither the Congress leadership nor Mr. Antony reacted strongly to it. It appears that filial love prevented the senior Congress leader from expressing anything in public, forgetting his political responsibility. Now that Padmaja Venugopal has joined the BJP, there is nothing new to it,” he said.
Mr. Rajeeve also said it is time for the people of Kerala to think whether they should vote for the Congress for the BJP to achieve the two-figure status in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently hinted.
