    Chennai: C R Kesavan, former Congress leader and great-grandson of India’s last Governor-General C Rajagopalachari, on Saturday joined the BJP.

    In the last two days, Anil Antony, son of veteran Congress leader A K Antony, and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, also in the Congress earlier, have joined the saffron party.

    Kesavan quit all the Congress posts in February this year. He was a media panellist of the Congress party in Tamil Nadu.

    In his resignation letter addressed to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, he said, “I can no longer in clear conscience say that I concur with what party currently symbolises, stands for nor seeks to propagate. This is exactly why I had declined an organisational responsibility at the national level and refrained from participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.”

    Thanking the BJP after his induction into the party, Kesavan said: “I want to thank you for inducting me into the world’s largest political party, the BJP, especially on a day when our Prime Minister is in Tamil Nadu.

    “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s corruption-free governance and reform-led inclusive development agenda have transformed India from a fragile economy to the fifth largest in the world, he said.

  • Prove Savarkar apologised: Hindutva ideologue’s grandson to Rahul Gandhi

    Prove Savarkar apologised: Hindutva ideologue’s grandson to Rahul Gandhi

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai: The grandson of late Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar has sought action against Rahul Gandhi for his comments and also challenged the Congress leader to show documents that prove he had apologised to the British.

    Gandhi’s “My name is not Savarkar, my name is Gandhi and Gandhi does not offer an apology to anyone” remark has drawn fire from BJP.

    The former Congress chief made this remark while addressing a press conference after being disqualified from Lok Sabha.

    Calling such comments childish, Savarkar’s grandson Ranjit Savarkar on Monday said, “Rahul Gandhi is saying he won’t apologise as he isn’t Savarkar. I challenge him to show documents that prove Savarkar apologised”.

    “Using the names of patriots to promote politics is wrong and deplorable. Action must be taken,” Savarkar said.
