The ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu on Monday welcomed actor-politician Kushboo Sundar joining its ally BJP, saying it is "a good and happy" move by her.
Senior party leader and Fisheries Minister D Jayakumar extended the AIADMK's best wishes and greetings to her.
"It is a good thing. Kushboo joining our ally, the BJP is a good and happy step," the Minister told reporters in Chennai, reacting to the popular actor joining the BJP.
Kushboo Sundar quit the Congress after a six-year long association with it and joined the BJP at the party headquarters in New Delhi in the presence of its leaders, including state unit chief L Murugan.
