The younger son of AK Antony, a veteran Congress leader, has expressed his disappointment at his elder brother Anil Antony’s decision to join the BJP, saying it was “impulsive” and the saffron party would throw him out like “curry leaves” after using him temporarily. Ajith Antony said his father had become devastated after seeing Anil Antony accept the BJP membership at their headquarters in New Delhi. Anil Antony, who headed the Digital Media Cell of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee, had quit the Congress two months ago, criticising the party’s stand on the controversial documentary film of the BBC on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and slammed the Congress leadership for working for a “single family” instead of for the country. It appears that Anil Antony, who was associated with the Congress party, recently quit the party and joined the BJP. His decision to leave the Congress came after he criticized the party’s stand on the BBC documentary film on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and accused the Congress leadership of working for a “single family” instead of for the country.
Ajith Antony seems to suggest that he believes that the BJP is not a trustworthy political party and that they may use people for their own purposes and then discard them when they are no longer needed. This is a common criticism that some people make of political parties, that they are more concerned with gaining and maintaining power than with serving the interests of the people they represent. However, it is important to note that political parties are made up of individuals who may have different motivations and agendas, and it is not fair to make sweeping generalizations about all members of a party based on the actions of a few.
