BJP has proposed Shami to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Bengal. The cricketer is yet to make a decision but discussion are said to have been ‘positive’.

Sources say that the party had an internal discussion over Shami’s entrance into the party. His presence can boost the party’s chances to win in minority-dominated areas due to his popularity.
