Won't Jump Queues to be CM, Will Follow Protocol': Mithun Chakraborty on Taking on Mamata

Hours after joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday, actor Mithun Chakraborty said he won’t jump any queues for the role of the chief minister.

“If it (CM’s post) comes to me via protocol then I will consider it… but I will not jump the protocol,” he told CNN-News18 in Kolkata after sharing stage with PM Modi.

Mithun’s entry into the BJP ended days of speculation over his political innings. The veteran actor was present at the Brigade Parade ground in Kolkata where Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a mega rally.

BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya met Chakraborty on Saturday evening at his Kolkata residence and announced that the actor will attend PM Modi’s rally. He was present on stage with Chakraborty on Sunday and welcomed him to the party.
