Ahead of the West Bengal elections, Indian tennis legend Leander Paes will join the BJP on Tuesday, party officials said. He will join the party in the presence of senior party leaders in New Delhi. The tennis star had recently met BJP chief Nitin Nabin in Kolkata, setting off speculation about him joining the party.
Paes had joined the Trinamool Congress in 2021 and campaigned for the party during the Goa elections in 2022. He did not contest the elections.
