Bengal polls: Mithun Chakraborty joins BJP ahead of PM Modi's mega rally

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.

The eight-phase polling will conclude on April 29, results on May 2.

Bengal is likely to see a triangular contest with TMC, Cong-Left alliance and BJP in fray.

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.
