THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After Congress veteran leader AK Antony's son Anil Antony's entry into the BJP, KPCC president K Sudhakaran came out with harsh criticism. "This is the day of betrayal as Anil Antony joined BJP on the same day Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Anil Antony has no role in Congress apart from being AK Antony's son. Anil has betrayed his own father and Congress and has no history of fighting for the party. Those who have broken sweat for the party never left the party", he said.

"Anil Antony did not hold a flag for Congress, did not put up a poster, did not shout slogans and did not sweat for the party. Anil says he is a Congressman because he is Antony's son. After hearing the news of Anil joining BJP, I spoke to Antony and he said that he does not interfere in the politics of his children", Sudhakaran added.

Anil Antony received BJP membership from Union Minister Piyush Goyal on BJP's foundation day today.

Soon after joining, Anil Antony criticized the Congress. He said that Congress leaders work for a family and BJP works for the country. 'There will be no change in love and respect for my father. Happy to join BJP on Founder's Day.' Anil Antony added
