Rishi Kaushik, Kanchana Moitra, Rupanjana Mitra and Biswajit Ganguly are some of the other well known figures who were among the new joinees. On the occasion of the 12 actors joining the party, Ghosh praised the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and remarked how it had inspired the people of West Bengal.
He added that the party had to hold joining ceremonies for eminent persons outside West Bengal because of the risk associated with becoming BJP members as Trinamool had been harassing people doing so.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
