Besides praising the "development", Ganguly lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who also happens to be the supreme leader of BJP.

She told ANI, "The one personality that attracts everyone towards BJP is PM Modi. His working style, personality and the way he has taken our country towards development, every Indian wants to join 'Modi Sena' and contribute to the country and I also felt the same and hence I joined BJP."

Immediately after joining, Ganguly had said, "When I see this 'Mahayagya' of development, I feel that I should also take part in this."

"I need your blessings and support so that whatever I do, I do it right and good," she added.

Ganguly, 47, primarily works in Hindi television.

She is well known for playing Manisha Singh Sarabhai in popular daily soap 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai' and Anupamaa in 'Anupamaa'.

Along with Ganguly, astrolger Ameya Joshi too joined the BJP on Wednesday.
