Actor Mithun Chakraborty finally put an end to all the speculations around him joining the Bharatiya Janata Party, as he arrived at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata on Sunday for the mega rally held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

Speculations were already rife after the news spread that Mithun Chakraborty as well as Sourav Ganguly both would be seen at the rally and would also possibly join the BJP.

More news around this subject came in when Chakraborty had earlier hosted Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat at his Mumbai residence.

Chakraborty had said, “I have a spiritual relation with him. It is a very deep spiritual relation. There was a plan that he would come to my home when he visits Mumbai. It so happened that I returned to Mumbai from Lucknow after a shoot and he too is in Mumbai. So ‘jud gaye hum (we connected)’,”

However, Chakraborty had earlier denied any plans to join politics or the BJP, but speculations of him joining the ruling party were quite strong.

Even the National General Secretary of BJP, Kailash Vijayvargiya met with Chakraborty at his residence in Belgachia.

Mithun's presence in the rally today right ahead of PM Modi's address finally cleared the air. 

Addressing the crowd, Mithun da got the crowd going by saying this line: "Here is my new dialogue. Ami joldhorao noi, bele borao noi... ami ekta cobra, ek chobol-ei chhobi (Don't mistake me for a harmless snake, I am a pure cobra,  one strike and you become a photograph." His words were met by a cheering crowd.

Mithun was also a part of the Rajya Sabha by the Trinamool Congress, in 2014. However, his stint in politics was short-lived and he resigned from his post in 2016, citing health issues.

Mitun's name was involved in the Saradha scam controversy, where, besides him, other leaders from TMC were also questioned regarding the same. 

Post this, Chakraborty decided to stay away from the public eye in terms of politics and it was also rumoured that he went under treatment abroad.

Meanwhile, as per the visuals, a decent crowd was seen at the rally and Prime Minister Modi addressed everyone ahead of West Bengal's eight-phase assembly, which will commence on March 27.

Twitter was flooded with reactions as the news of Mithun joining the BJP broke out: 

Here is wishing #Mithun da the very best as he once again joins active politics this time via the BJP. May he serve the great people of West Bengal and India .#mithunchakraborty https://t.co/wafgXmOpNP
