PTA Rahim likely to join Aam Aadmi Party

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:  Reports say PTA Rahim, chairman of national secular conference and a Left MLA from Kunnamangalam, is likely to join the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Rahim held the initial round of talks with the party’s Malappuram district leadership.

Meantime, when contacted, Rahim said he has not decided to join the party but held talks with AAP party leadership. But the party leadership said talks were held as per the interest of Rahim. In the meanwhile, Rahim said AAP’s argument is totally baseless.

Rahim said a final decision has not been taken on joining the AAP and a decision will be taken at the national secular meet to be convened next month. I reached the assembly with the support of Left Front and is part of the LDF, he added.

LDF convenor Vaikkom Viswan said that he is not aware of Rahim holding talks with AAP.
