Deepankar @deep_anchor commented: "Bappi Lahiri joined BJP. Mithun Chakraborty joined Trinamool. So Disco goes to BJP and Dancer joins TMC"
Joydeep Roy @GunnerRoy : "Bappi Lahiri has been unveiled as a new BJP candidate. Now if BJP comes to power we might as well say goodbye to our Gold Reserves!"
@faizaskari: "So Bappi's a stratageic (sic) inclusion can add weight in the party. And Ofcourse add Gold reserve."
