CR Kesavan, great-grandson of C Rajagopalachari meets Amit Shah after joining BJP

Former Congress leader CR Kesavan met Union minister Amit Shah and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda at Nadda's residence in Delhi on Saturday after joining the party.
Earlier on the day, Kesavan who is the great-grandson of India's first Indian GovernorGeneral, C Rajagopalachari joined the BJP.

Speaking to reporters after his saffron switch, Kesavan said, "I wish to thank the BJP for having inducted me into the world's largest political party, and, that too, on a day when our PM is scheduled to visit Tamil Nadu."

Kesavan resigned from Congress on February 23, saying that he has not even seen vestiges of the values that made him work for the party with dedication for over two decades.

Kesavan shared his resignation letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Twitter saying he could no longer concur with "what the party symbolises, stands for or seeks to propagate".
