New Delhi/Kolkata: Veteran matinee idol Biswajit Chatterjee joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in New Delhi on Monday in the presence of party general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and other senior leaders.

Former Trinamool Congress General Secretary Shanku Deb Panda too crossed over to the BJP. The 83-year-old Biswajit is likely to contest the Lok Sabha elections from any parliamentary constituency in West Bengal, where the BJP has been looking for some prominent faces.
