Tamilisai Soundararajan, who recently resigned as Telangana Governor and Puducherry Lt Governor, rejoined the BJP on Friday. At the party's headquarters 'Kamalalayam' in Chennai, TN BJP chief Annamalai gave a membership card to Soundararajan.


After rejoining the BJP, former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said, "I am in my happiest mood now. I love serving the people. I admire our PM, the way he connects with the people. So, we also wanted to connect with the people and serve people directly...I have expressed it and I will be a candidate but High Command will decide which constituency."


"I am happy to get back the membership card which I have. It's a tough decision and a happy decision too. There were many facilities to me as Governor but I left it...I don't regret it even one per cent...Lotus will blossom in Tamil Nadu for sure," she said. 


In Tamil Nadu, BJP is set to face Lok Sabha polls in alliance with TTV Dhinakaran-led Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazhagam (AMMK) and Ramadoss-led Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK). However, the party is yet to release the candidate list for the polls.
