PC George has vouched his support for the Kerala BJP for the upcoming elections.

PC George, Independent legislator representing the Poonjar constituency in Kerala has joined NDA to strengthen the hopes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

PC George announced his new political alliance in the presence of BJP state president PS Sreedharan Pillai. Sixty seven-year old George, a six-time legislator from Kottayam district was originally with Kerala Congress for several years.

He parted ways with Congress and floated a new party called Janapaksham and won the Poonjar seat defeating all three fronts - LDF, UDF and NDA. Incidentally, his new political avatar took shape the day after his former mentor KM Mani passed away in Kochi.

While addressing the media, PC George predicted an NDA victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in Kerala. According to him, the BJP will win at least 3 seats in Kerala - Thiruvananthapuram, Pathanamthitaa and Thrissur, where BJP has a vote bank.

PC George had tried to join the UDF earlier, but KM Mani blocked his entry. He tried to negotiate with LDF, but Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan did not support it. He doubted his credentials as he was never consistent in his political affiliations.

For BJP, George is a gold fish who can add more votes in Pathanamthitta.

When the poll campaigns enter final round, BJP eyes chances of winning Pathanamthitta more than Thiruvananthapuram where state general secretary K Surendran is pitched against sitting Congress member Anto Antony and LDF candidate Veena George, a legislator from Aranmula.

"BJP has done lot for farmers. I support NDA in this election for what they have done for the farmers," George told India Today.

According to him, both Left and Congress have ditched the farmers.

"I'm certain that BJP will open their account in Kerala this time. I will work for it ", George concluded.
