THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Poonjar MLA and Kerala Janapakshan secular party led by P C George is all set to join the NDA. The announcement will be made Wednesday evening in the presence of BJP all India secretary Sathya Kumar, state chief P S Sreedharan Pillai and Kerala Janapaksham secular leaders.

George told a private channel that the decision to join NDA was taken unilaterally by the Kerala Janapaksham Secular. There is no objection from anyone in the party but one from Kollam has expressed displeasure, he said. George said they decided to cooperate with the Front led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi considering the help and projects he did for the agricultural sector. The Kerala Congress had earlier stated that rubber would be announced as rubber crop. However, Modi made that announcement. An amount of Rs 6000 was given to all farmers without looking at the area of the land. I was attracted towards Modi for the good things he did for the agricultural sector.
