Kottayam:Former MLA PC George on Tuesday hinted that the Kerala Janapaksham (Secular) party led by him is likely to merge with the BJP.
Speaking to news channels here, George said that the "general sentiments" of his party workers are in favor of joining the BJP, and that a decision in this regard will be made before the Lok Sabha polls. In case such a decision is taken, it won't be a merger "as ours is a very small party and it would be like a small stream joining a river," he said.
George, who represented Poonjar seat in the Kerala assembly for more than 30 years, praised Narendra Modi's leadership and said that India has never had such an accomplished prime minister, and that the opinion among party ranks is to support him.
When asked whether he would contest the Lok Sabha polls if he joins the BJP, he said, "If the BJP asks me to contest, I will; if not, I won't."
