Chennai: Weeks before assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, DMK legislator P Saravanan joined the BJP here on Sunday, protesting what he called the dominance and silent torture by the district-level officer-bearers of the Dravidian party.
Saravanan, representing the Tirupparankundram constituency in the Madurai region, is the second DMK MLA after Ku Ka Selvam (Thousand Lights constituency here) to join the BJP ahead of the April 6 assembly polls.
