PS Prasanth

Ousted senior Congress leader P S Prasanth on Friday joined the CPI-M in the presence of party state secretary in-charge A Vijayaraghavan in Thiruvananthapuram.

Vijayaraghavan, along with other CPI-M leaders, welcomed Prasanth to the party at the AKG centre, head office of the party, where the former KPCC secretary also addressed the media.

The former Congress leader said he joined the CPI-M without any demands and will perform the duties as assigned by the Left leadership.

Praising the ruling LDF government, Prasanth said CPI-M is a party which intervenes in issues faced by the people.

"The Kerala model, which upholds secularism, was accepted by the people of the state and re-elected the Left government in the last election. So I decided to join hands with the CPI-M," he said.
