Trinamool Congress MP Saumitra Khan Wednesday joined the BJP, giving a fillip to the saffron party's campaign in West Bengal in the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls. Khan, who joined the party at a press conference following a meeting with its president Amit Shah, represents Bishnupur in the Lok Sabha and was earlier a member of the state assembly as well.
