BJP's Answer To Trinamool Celeb Lawmakers? 13 Bengali TV Stars Join Party | Read
A galaxy of TV stars from Bengal joined the BJP today, delivering what is seen as a blow to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress in a fierce political turf war between the two parties. Thirteen actors travelled all the way from Kolkata to Delhi and embraced the BJP's saffron and green scarves in the presence of the media. "It is risky to join the BJP in Bengal these days," said BJP's Bengal chief Dilip Ghosh, alleging that his party members were being intimidated and harassed by the state's ruling party.
