Writer K. L Mohana Varma joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) here on Thursday.
He received the membership from K. S. Radhakrishnan, vice-president of the State unit of the party at his residence as part of the BJP’s nation-wide campaign to induct new members. The district leaders of the party were present on the occasion.
The 87-year-old writer had earlier served as secretary of the Kerala Sahitya Akademi and Chief Editor of Veekshanam, the official mouthpiece of the State unit of the Congress party. Mr. Varma said that he was impressed by the development agenda implemented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The priority given for technology in the development of the nation also deserved credit, he said.
