Anil Antony joined BJP in April
Anil Antony, son of Congress veteran AK Antony, had joined the BJP in April 2023. Antony had resigned from the Congress after his tweet criticising the controversial BBC documentary on Prime Minister Modi triggered a row within the grand old party. Anil Antony, who headed the Digital Media cell of the Kerala Congress, slammed the Congress leadership for working for a "single-family" instead of working for the country.
