Former Congress leader CR Kesavan, the great grandson of the country’s first Indian Governor-General, C Rajagopalachari, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday.
“I want to thank the elders for inducting me into the world’s largest political party, especially on a day when the Prime Minister is in Tamil Nadu,” Kesavan said at a press conference in New Delhi. “Their presence here proves the deep respect the BJP has for the founding fathers and mothers of our great nation, including C Rajagopalachari.”

In February, Kesavan had resigned from the Congress party, saying that he had “not seen any of the vestiges of the values that made him work for the party for over two decades.”
Sharing his resignation on Twitter, he said: “I am truly sad to say that for a while now, I have not seen any vestiges of the values that made me work for the party with dedication for over two decades. I can no longer in good conscience say that I concur with what the party symbolises, 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.”
