In an unexpected development, popular Tamil journalist Madan Ravichandran joined the BJP at the party headquarters in New Delhi in the presence of BJP National Spokesperson Sambit Patra, Karnataka Government Minister and BJP National General Secretary C.T. Ravi and Tamil Nadu BJP President Dr. L. Murugan.
While yesteryear actress and erstwhile Congress politician Khushbu Sundar joining the BJP was the talk of the town since yesterday, Madan joining the BJP has surprised many.
Madan is known for being a vocal critic of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). He recently exposed about Thiruporur DMK MLA Idhayavarman and his illegal deer hunting shenanigans, supposedly for serving deer meat to DMK chief MK Stalin’s son Udhayanidhi Stalin. This video had gone viral rattling the corridors of Arivalayam with ‘Maan Kari Udhayanidhi’ trending and Udhayanidhi Stalin filing a defamation suit against Madan Ravichandran.
After lying low for more than 6 weeks following a run-in with his earlier channel, journalist and anchor Madan Ravichandran made a come back on the night of September 15 with a video under his new Youtube channel “Madan Diary”.
Along with Madan and Kushboo, Saravanakumar IRS from Tamil Nadu also joined the BJP.
