After joining the BJP ahead of Puducherry Assembly polls, former Puducherry minister P Kannan said he resigned from the Congress as the party is dismantled. I was Congressman for the past 55 years. I joined politics to do social work, bring up the downtrodden, help youngsters get employment and aid the nation s development. I was disappointed after a long time. The old Congress party has disappeared. It is dismantled. I will say that they have virtually killed the Congress party, Kannan said. There is no Congress party that we dreamt of. I came to the Congress party after seeing Kamraj, the great leader. Now I am coming to the BJP seeing PM Narendra Modi. He is a very courageous leader who takes the boldest steps, he added.
