In a surprise move, V Balakrishnan, who stepped down as board member of software behemoth Infosys recently creating ripples in the corporate circles, has joined Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Admi Party.

"Yes I have become the member of AAP, have got the confirmation today," Mr Balakrishnan told PTI.

His move to dabble in politics comes three weeks after his sudden exit from India's second largest software services exporter, Infosys.
