Former Congress leader Johnny Nellore has embarked on a new political path, creating a subsidiary called the National Progressive Party (NPP) in Kerala. The newly formed party aims to serve the needs of local farmers, specifically by supporting rubber producers, as Central Kerala has been hit by poverty after a decline in rubber prices. The party's leadership has stated that they will not be opposed to any political front and have no intention of collaborating with any particular party; they hope to grow within Kerala and eventually expand throughout India.
