New Delhi: In a jolt to the Congress ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Tom Vadakkan, its spokesperson and until now a Nehru-Gandhi family loyalist, on Thursday joined the BJP complaining about “dynastic politics”.
The announcement came on a day Congress President Rahul Gandhi was in Kerala, to which Vadakkan belongs.
“I gave my prime of life to the Congress. But dynastic politics is now at its zenith in the party… There’s no place in it for self-respecting people,” he said.
Vadakkan, who hails from Thrissur, could be fielded by the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections from Kerala. (IANS)
