The political development has come as a surprise to many, considering that she has been outspoken against the ruling party.
In a sudden political turn, Khushbu, a spokesman for the Indian National Congress, is most likely to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at an event in New Delhi on Monday. political decisions of the ruling party and had even said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has no appeal in Tamil Nadu. However, this is not completely unexpected, as Khushbu has not been happy in Congress since she was not given a ticket to participate in the Lok Sabha elections.
Sources say the BJP may have promised him a seat in Rajya Sabha or a ticket to compete in the Kanyakumari by-elections. The latter appears to be a minor possibility, the sources add.
Khushbu, who was once a prominent actor in Tamil Nadu and has shared the screen with all the superstars, had a large following in the state. He entered politics by joining the DMK in May 2010. Four years later, he left the DMK in July 2014. After a few months, in November 2014, Khushbu joined the Congress party.
On Sunday night, Khushbu was seen leaving Chennai airport for the capital. When asked by reporters if she was joining the BJP, the generally talkative leader decided not to comment on the matter. He maintained that he had nothing to say. Speculation about Khushbu joining the BJP began in July, but she has consistently denied that possibility. His tweets supporting the National Education policy implemented by the BJP had raised questions about whether he was unfreezing his stance towards the BJP. She had stated that her position on the matter differs from that of Congress and that she would rather speak of the facts than be a puppet.
Even as recently as last week, he continued to reject speculation about joining the BJP. This despite the fact that the Tamil Nadu BJP hints at the possibility.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi on October 6, she said: “If he (TN BJP head Murugan) informs them that I will be joining BJP, what can I do about it? There were rumors about this and Murugan might have thought it would be nice if I joined the party. So it feels good that they think Khusbhu’s presence in BJP will be good, but I’m happy in Congress. “
In the past, Khusbhu has been the victim of trolls by BJP supporters who used his religious identity to attack his political views. Trolls have often used his Muslim name ‘Nakhat Khan’ as an insult.
