The decision to join the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was not taken on impulse but after consultations with the State Committee and district committees of the party, claimed Sabu M. Jacob, president of Twenty20, a political outfit backed by the Kitex Group.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday (January 24, 2026), Mr. Jacob said the committees had entrusted the party president with making an appropriate decision. During the consultations, 80% supported joining the NDA, a few favoured the UDF, but none wanted to align with the LDF.
