Actor and comedian Shekhar Suman has entered a recent phase in his political career. On Tuesday, Shekhar joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the presence of leader Vinod Tawde. He was earlier a member of the Congress party and fought in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections from Patna Sahib from Bihar on the Congress ticket, but lost to Shatrughan Sinha of the BJP. He came third in the elections. After joining the BJP on May 7, he said, “I didn’t know until yesterday that I would be sitting here today because many things in life happen consciously or unconsciously. I came here with a very positive attitude and I would like to thank God for making me come here.”

Along with Shekhar Suman, Radhika Khera, who was the spokesperson of the All India Congress Committee (AICC), also joined the BJP at the party headquarters in Novel Delhi. After joining the BJP, Khera said, “The way I was mistreated on the land of Kaushalya Mata due to being a devotee of Ram and having the darshan of Ram Lalla, I would not have been able to reach here if I had not received the protection of the BJP government, the Modi government.” Today’s Congress is not Mahatma Gandhi Congress, it is anti-Ram and anti-Hindu Congress.”
