'Thankful to be part of world's largest political party...' ex Cong leader CR Kesavan joins BJP
CR Kesavan, a former Congress leader and the great-grandson of C Rajagopalachari, joined the BJP on Saturday.
“I want to thank you for inducting me into the world's largest political party-BJP, especially on a day when our PM is in Tamil Nadu,” CR Kesavan said.
“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 added.
“I know people in my house who got 'pucca' house through PM Awas Yojana. 3 crore houses have been built... Amit Shah ji once said that DBT was earlier 'Dealer Broker Transfer', but now it has become 'Direct Benefit Transfer,” he said.

In February of this year, Congress media panellist and first Indian Governor-General C Rajagopalachari's grandson CR Kesavan announced his decision to withdraw from the party's membership, stating that he had not seen any “vestige of the value that made him work for the party for over two decades”.
“I can no longer in good conscience say that I concur with what the Party presently symbolizes, stands for nor seeks to propagate. This is why I had recently declined an organisational responsibility at the national level and also refrained from participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra,” Kesavan said in his resignation letter.
