New Delhi/IBNS: Popular television actress Rupali Ganguly on Wednesday lauded the "development" taking place in the country joining the country's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is seeking a third straight term in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

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."
