Actor Mithun Chakraborty, who joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Kolkata on March 7, likened himself with a deadly cobra that can “finish off (rivals) in one bite”.

Attending a massive rally in poll-bound West Bengal, the actor said: “I am proud to be a Bengali. I know you love my dialogues. Here is my new dialogue. Ami joldhorao noi, bele borao noi... ami ekta cobra, ek chobol-ei chhobi (Don't mistake me for a harmless snake, I am a pure cobra, one strike and you will exist as a memory).”
