Lok Sabha elections 2024: Shekhar Suman joins BJP, says ‘many things in life…’

Actor-comedian Shekhar Suman has begun a new innings in his political career. On Tuesday, Shekhar joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the presence of leader Vinod Tawde. He was earlier a member of Congress party and had fought the Lok Sabha election in 2009 from Bihar’s Patna Sahib on a Congress ticket and lost to BJP’s Shatrughan Sinha. He ended up with the third spot in the elections. After joining BJP on May 7, he said, ”Till yesterday I did not know that I would be sitting here today because many things in life happen knowingly or unknowingly. I have come here with a very positive thinking and I would like to thank God that he ordered me to come here.”
