A few weeks shy the state Assembly polls and Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi’s rally at Brigade Parade Ground, the Bharatiya Janata Party has a new member.
Bollywood veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty is officially a member of the BJP.
Recently, BJP’s state in-charge Kailash Vijayavargiya and Mithun Chakraborty had a meeting of their own at the actor’s residence in Belgachia locality. Now, the news has been confirmed about Chakraborty joining the party.
As per a report by NDTV, Mithun says, “You can me selfish or anything else. But the reason behind my selfishness is that I want to be with poor people, I want to fight for them.”
“Since I was 18-years-old, I had a dream that I will stay with the poor people, I will help them, I will get them their due respect. BJP is making the government, that’s for sure. And if we can all fulfil the Prime Minister’s dream of a Sonar Bangla, I will be the proudest man,” he continues.
In 2014, Mithun had joined the Rajya Sabha. However, he had to quit in 2016 giving health issue as a reason. He also commented on the same saying, “I left (as Rajya Sabha MP), I don’t want to point fingers at anyone that it was their fault. It was my bad decision. Let’s end that topic here.”
