After joining BJP, verbal attacks have started on Mithun Chakraborty. TMC MP Saugata Roy said that the Bollywood star was originally a Naxalite and he has changed parties four times. "Mithun Chakraborty is not a star of today. He is a star of yesteryears. He has changed parties four times. He was originally a Naxalite, then went to CPM, then he joined TMC and was made a Rajya Sabha MP," he said. Roy alleged that BJP threatened Chakraborty with cases by ED and he left Rajya Sabha and now he has joined BJP. He has no credibility, no respect, and no influence among the people.
Actor Mithun Chakraborty ended all speculation over his political plunge on Sunday. Chakraborty reached Kolkata's Brigade Parade ground where PM Modi will hold a mega rally. Ahead of the rally which is scheduled to start at 2 pm, Chakraborty joined BJP. On Saturday, BJP's Kailash Vijayvargiya had announced that Mithun will attend the PM's rally. In 2014, Chakraborty was sent to Rajya Sabha by TMC after it stormed to power in 2011. Chakraborty's political sting was short-lived as he resigned in 2016 citing health reasons. Meanwhile, BJP has claimed that 10 lakh people will attend PM Modi's election rally. PM's rally comes as Bengal heads for an high-voltage assembly election starting March 27.
