Cong' attitude neither constructive nor concrete, Kesavan joined BJP

One more former Congress leader joined the BJP. Ex-party leader and grandson of India's first Governor-General C Rajagpalachari, CR Kesavan on Saturday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. Kesavan,who resigned from the Grand Old Party on February 23, lauded the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi after joining the saffron party and also said that he is not a "Parivaarvadi". He lauded PM Modi by narrating a couplet of Thiruvalluvar, a great Tamil poet, "When you are confronted with a crisis, face it with a smile. That is the best way to anguish the crisis." He is from Tamil Nadu. Speaking about his exit from the grand old party, CR Kesavan said, "I have been a member of the Congress party for last 22 years, but unfortunately over a period of time, I feel in INC, the attitude and approach were neither constructive nor concrete. The values which I worked for, had changed." "PM Modi's people-centric policies, corruption-free governance and reform-led inclusive development agenda have transformed India from a fragile economy to the 5th largest economy in the world," Kesavan said. He praised several Centre's schemes such as Swachh Bharat, Har Ghar Jal, free ration to people during the Covid, Ayushman Bharat, and PM Awas Yojana and said, "I just want to say that this is been a tectonic formation in the domestic scene."
