In yet another major impetus to the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of Lok Sabha elections, senior journalist MJ Akbar joined the saffron brigade on Saturday.
In presence of party chief Rajnath Singh, the noted author was inducted into the party.
MJ Akbar's stint with the BJP is not his first in politics. He had in the late 80s contested elections from Bihar on a Congress ticket.
It is being reported that the veteran journalist may be appointed as the party's spokesperson.
Having joined the party, Akbar batted for Narendra Modi saying that the country needed his leadership at the present times.
Akbar who made his way to the Parliament in 1989 by winning the Kishanganj seat said, "Rajneeti is two words, one is Raj and the other is Neeti. I think I am more interested in Neeti."
"It is not that there are just problems. Now, I see a solution too, I find a solution in Narendra Modi," he added.
