Leander Paes, actor Nafisa Ali joinTMC in Goa

In Goa ahead of assembly elections, two Bollywood and one tennis star on Wednesday joined the Trinamool Congress in the presence od the party chief  and West Bengal chief minister Mamta Banerjee. Veteran tennis star Leander Paes joined the Trinamool Congress, becoming the third celebrity - after actress Nafisa Ali and activist Mrinalini Deshprabhu - to join the TMC."Now I have retired from tennis. I want to serve the people through the vehicle of politics...to make a difference to country. Didi (Mamata Banerjee) is a true champion," Paes said.

The Trinamool, which is trying to project itself as a strong contender against the ruling BJP in the state, has planned a number of engagements for Ms Banerjee. She is currently on a two-day visit to the poll-bound coastal state where she is expected to meet with an array of people regarding the expansion of her party’s footprint in the state. She has already announced that her party would contest from all the seats in the upcoming assembly polls, making clear her national ambition. Goa Assembly has a strength of 40 members out of which BJP currently has 17 legislators and enjoys the support of legislators from Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP), and other regional parties. Congress, on the other hand, has 15 MLAs in the house.
