Indian Tennis veteran Leander Paes on Friday joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in presence of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee here.

Banerjee, who is in the coastal state of Goa on a three-day visit, welcomed Paes into the party fold.


Senior actor and activist Nafisa Ali, who contested the 2004 Lok Sabha elections from South Kolkata against Banerjee, also joined the party.
