After months of speculation, Congress star campaigner and former MP Vijayashanti will be travelling to Delhi on Monday and is most likely to join BJP on Tuesday in the presence of Union home minister Amit Shah.
Her re-entry into the BJP will give a major boost to the party’s all out campaign in elections to 150 wards of GHMC on December 1.
“She was supposed to join BJP long back but she was seeking one of the top posts at the national level in the party and also wanted to re-join in the presence of one of the top two in BJP government at the Centre,” a source close to Vijayashanti said.
She will be tasked with campaigning in the upcoming GHMC elections and later in Tamil Nadu where the Assembly elections are due next year.
The actor, who made a comeback with to Tollywood with Mahesh Babu’s ‘Sarileru Neekevvaru’ after a long gap has equal following in Tamil Nadu given her Telugu dubbed blockbusters in 80s and 90s.
In fact, the BJP itself has been making attempts discreetly to tap well-known leaders in Congress where they don’t see future in the present circumstances.
