Mithun Chakraborty in Kolkata's Brigade Parade Ground, to share stage with PM Modi

| @indiablooms | Mar 07, 2021, at 06:44 pm

Kolkata/IBNS: Actor Mithun Chakraborty on Sunday reached Kolkata's Brigade Parade Ground to share the stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-organised mega rally.

PM Modi will address the high-voltage rally in Kolkata's iconic Brigade Parade Ground which is expected to set the ball rolling ahead of the crucial Assembly elections in the state.

Ending speculations over his presence at the high-octane rally, the veteran actor has already reached the ground and could be seen sharing the stage with other BJP leaders.

The speculations that Chakraborty might join the BJP went rife after Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat met the veteran actor and former Member of Parliament at his Mumbai residence on Feb 17.

The Central Observer of BJP for West Bengal, Kailash Vijayvargiya also met Chakraborty at the latter's residence in Belgachia.

Once considered close to the CPM, Chakraborty, 70, was a Rajya Sabha MP for the Trinamool Congress for two years, before resigning.

He had cited his ill-health as the reason behind quitting politics.

Elections for the West Bengal Assembly will be held in eight phases beginning March 27. The counting for the same will be held on May 2.
