New Delhi: Music director and singer Bappi Lahiri on Friday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of Lok Sabha elections. Lahiri met BJP President Rajnath Singh in the evening at Delhi headquarters.
Kolkata born Bappi Lahiri has been living in Mumbai for over 40 years. It is not yet clear whether he will contest from Mumbai or Kolkata or he will just campaign for the party across India.
The BJP sources are indicating that the party plans to keep inducting many popular names in the next two months. In 2004, the ruling BJP had inducted dozens of film stars and other personalities from the entertainment industry into the party just ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. But the party suffered a shocking defeat and lost power at the Centre. Stars failed to ensure another victory for the party.
