Veteran actress Moushumi Chatterjee joins BJP

New Delhi, Jan 2 (IBNS): With few months to go for the 2019 General Elections, veteran actress Moushumi Chatterjee on Wednesday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Chatterjee joined the saffron outfit in presence of BJP president and national general secretary, Amit Shah and Kailash Vijayvargiya respectively, and the party leader from West Bengal, Mukul Roy.

Vijayvargiya tweeted to say Chatterjee will strengthen the BJP in West Bengal, where the saffron party is aiming to win around 22 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Currently, the BJP has two seats in the eastern state. However, it has emerged as the primary but distant opposition to the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in recent by-elections in the state, relegating the Congress and Left.

Chatterjee, 70, made her acting debut with Bengali film Balika Badhu way back in 1967.

She was a prominent face in Bengali film industry for decades. Her last Bengali film was Goynar Baksho, which released in 2013.

Chatterjee also acted in a number of Hindi films.
