Kolkata:
The tradition of celebrities, including actors and cricketers, joining politics and contesting polls has a fair bit of history in Indian politics. And the case was no different just ahead of the elections to the West Bengal Assembly when director-actor-producer Raj Chakraborty joined the Trinamool Congress. Accompanying him on the stage were Kanchan Mullick, Sayoni Ghosh and cricketer Manoj Tewari - all of whom began their political journeys with the Mamata Banerjee-led party the same day.
