Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MLA P Saravanan joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Chennai on Sunday. The move comes ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections to be held in April.
Saravanan, who is Thiruparankundram MLA, was dropped from the candidates’ list by DMK after the constituency was allotted to its ally Communist Party of India (Marxist).

This itself is a bright example of the able leadership under which our country is running today,” he added.
