West Bengal president of BJP Rahul Sinha announced Thakur's decision to join the party at a press conference here.
Sinha said more TMC leaders will join the BJP in the near future.
"This joining is just the beginning of TMC's collapse," Sinha added.
Manjul Krishna Thakur, who held the refugee, relief and rehabilitation portfolio in West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's cabinet,
