India’s first superbike racer Alisha Abdullah joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in the presence of party state president K Annamalai in Chennai on Saturday.

‘I’m happy to be apart of @BJP4TamilNadu family. The reason I wanted to be a part of BJP is because of the recognition and respect @annamalai_kuppusamy sir and @amarprasadreddyofficial has for me.  I promise to do my best to uplift more women,’ Abdullah tweeted.

A former superbike and karting champion, Abdullah was named President of Human Rights, Anti Crime, Anti-corruption in Tamil Nadu on her induction into the BJP.
