Former Trinamul Congress general secretary Shankudeb Panda and veteran film actor Biswajit Chatterjee joined the BJP on Monday.

The duo joined the BJP at the party’s headquarters in New Delhi in presence of party’s national spokesperson Sambit Patra, Bengal minder and national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and BJP leader Mukul Roy.

Panda was removed from “all party posts” in December 2015 after he was questioned by the CBI in the Saradha case.
