At the party headquarters here on Tuesday, renowned actor Shekhar Suman and former Congress national media coordinator Radhika Khera joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Anil Baluni, the national media coordinator for the party, Vinod Tawde, and other prominent figures witnessed the two notable individuals join the BJP.
Radhika Khera blasted the grand old party for eschewing Gandhian principles shortly after she joined the BJP, declaring, "Today's Congress is anti-Ram and anti-Hindu."
She recalled being insulted and humiliated by the party leadership and said she could not have imagined the extent of the abuse and harassment she endured for going to the Ram Temple and receiving a darshan from Ram Lalla. She added that she would not have been able to save herself had the BJP government not intervened to save her.
Remarkably, Radhika Khera quit from the Congress party a few days ago, claiming that she was being harassed by the top brass for displaying her "bhakti" for Ram Lalla.
As he launched his political career, Shekhar Suman stated that he followed his destiny for this stage of his life.
He also praised Prime Minister Modi profusely for putting the country on a strong growth track and expressed his eagerness to contribute to it.
