Mithun Chakraborty joins BJP ahead of Bengal polls

Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the presence of several BJP leaders, including Dilip Ghosh and Kailash Vijayvargiya at a mega rally at Brigade Parade Ground in West Bengal. This will be his first election in the state after the poll notification for the Assembly elections was issued.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will shortly address the mega rally.

The BJP and Congress released their first list of candidates, 57 and 13 respectively, on Saturday for the West Bengal polls. The saffron party announced that Suvendu Adhikari, who defected from the Trinamool Congress, will be pitted against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram.

Meanwhile in Tamil Nadu, campaigning for the AIADMK-BJP-PMK alliance on Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said he was confident they would emerge victorious in the upcoming Assembly polls. Shah is on a day-long political tour in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. He commenced his visit by holding a door-to-door campaign in Kanyakumari, and then held road show there.
In Assam, Congress was the latest to release its list of 40 candidates for the upcoming polls. BJP released a list of 70 candidates on Friday with its allies AGP and UPPL given 26 and eight seats, respectively. Activist Akhil Gogoi, who is in jail since December 2019 under the UAPA, will contest from his newly-floated political party Raijor Dal.
