Popular South actor-turned-politician Khushbu Sundar on Monday joined the BJP. Earlier in the day, she had resigned from the Congress. Khushbu, who had joined the Congress in 2014 after quitting the DMK, in her resignation had stated that some people who are not connected with people are dictating terms in the party. She has claimed that party workers like her were being sidelined. For the BJP, Khushbu is a big catch in Tamil Nadu, a state that continues to be largely out of its grasp, ahead of polls next year.
