New Delhi, March 16 : Former Congress leader P.C. Chacko on Tuesday joined the Nationalist Congress Party after meeting its supremo Sharad Pawar.
Ahead of joining the NCP, he had met Communist Party of India-Marxist General Secretary Sitaram Yechury. The NCP is part of the CPI-M-led Left Democratic Front in Kerala where Assembly elections are approaching.
Chacko said: The need today is for unity in the opposition parties. A united opposition should emerge as an alternative to the BJP. I don t see that initiative in the party which I was a member of earlier.
Addressing the gathering state BJP chief K Surendran said only the saffron party can save Kerala.
“People here are seeking a change from the corrupt fronts of LDF and Congress. The reformers have dreamed of a Kerala which is not this Kerala,” he added.

New Delhi: The CPI (M)-led Left Democratic Front is going to give a tough fight to the Congress-United Democratic Front coalition and the Bharatiya Janata Party in the upcoming assembly elections in Kerala, as it is likely to win 87 seats out of 140 and have a vote share of over 40 per cent, the IANS-CVoter survey revealed on Saturday.
On Friday, the Election Commission of India announced the poll schedule for the Kerala Assembly election. The state will vote in a single-phase election for all 140 seats of the Kerala Assembly. It is likely to be a hotly contested political battle. In 2016, the LDF had assumed charge.
