Kozhikode : Former Kerala minister and senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Cyriac John is all set to join the Congress party.
The development follows a closed-door meeting John had with Defence Minister A.K. Antony here Monday.
Emerging after the meeting John said that in the next 10 days he and his supporters would chalk out the future course of action.
John has been keeping a safe distance from the NCP since former chief minister K. Karunakaran made his intentions of joining the Congress and dumping the NCP clear.
John is a four-time legislator and was a minister in Karunakaran’s cabinet in 1982-83.
Speaking to reporters after Monday’s meeting, Antony said that while the decision on Karunakaran had to be made by the party’s central leadership, the state unit would make the decision on John.
