Actress and former MLA Jayasudha Kapoor today officially joined the BJP.
BJP Telangana affairs in-charge Tarun Chugh welcomed her by garlanding with a party shawl. He also awarded primary membership of the party to her. Telangana BJP chief Kishan Reddy was also present.
Speaking on the occasion, Jayasudha said that she liked Narendra Modi's governance and so had joined the BJP.
"I have been thinking of joining the BJP for a year now. I will serve the people through the national party. I will work for Christians. I will however provide services to everyone irrespective of caste and religion. The announcement that I will contest from Secunderabad and Musheerabad is a just propaganda," she said.
Kishan Reddy said that Jayasudha was sincere about welfare of the poor and development of bastis, and that her induction would strengthen the BJP. Tarun Chug echoed similar thoughts.
Jayasudha was with the Congress, TDP and YSR Congress Party earlier.
