The BJP is on a high-profile signing spree. After the much-publicised entry of Varun Gandhi and Maneka Gandhi into the BJP today, it is now the turn of cricketers and cine stars.

Top BJP sources said Navjot Singh Sidhu, former Test cricketer-turned-commentator who's known for his obtuse one-liners or ‘Sidhuisms’, would be joining the BJP on Tuesday.

Also in the pipeline is the imminent entry of cinestars Suresh Oberoi and Jeetendra. While Oberoi’s formal induction is scheduled "in the next two days", `jumping Jack` Jeetendra’s entry is slated in the coming days.

Former Union Minister Arif Mohammed Khan is also slated to join the BJP in the next two weeks. Khan was in the Congress but resigned over the Shah Bano issue and was a minister in the short-lived V P Singh government.

Later he joined the BSP and was an MP from Bahraich in UP. He lost the 1999 Lok Sabha polls to the BJP candidate. As the BJP has a sitting candidate in Bahraich, a decision on his contesting the Lok Sabha polls as a BJP candidate has still not been clinched.
