Actor-turned-politician Khushbu Sundar joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hours after resigning from Congress on Monday. Madan Ravichandran, political journalist and former Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer Saravana Kumar also joined the party along with Sundar.
In his resignation letter to the president of Congress, Sonia Gandhi, Sundar said: “Few elements sitting at a higher level within the party, people who have no connection to basic reality or public recognition, are dictating the terms.” People like her who wanted to work wanted to work for the party were sincerely being pressured and repressed by those forces, she added.
The former spokeswoman for the Tamil Nadu big party tweeted on Saturday about an “inevitable change” that was to occur in the coming days, a possible reference to her joining the BJP. “Many see a change in me. Well, as you age, evolve, grow, learn and unlearn, perceptions change, likes and dislikes too, thoughts and ideas take a new shape, dreams are new, you understand the difference between liking and loving, between good and evil. Change is inevitable. Happy Eve, ”he wrote on Twitter.
His views were seen in conflict from Congress “ shortly after he took a divergent position on the National Education Policy (NEP) from the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), 2020 and welcomed it. Tamil Nadu leaders had attacked her for her posture. He later apologized to the former president of Congress, Rahul Gandhi, but insisted that he “would rather talk about the fact than be a robot or a puppet.”
