Actress Kirron Kher, who is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the Chandigarh Lok Sabha seat, Tuesday joined microblogging site Twitter to build a "direct connection" with the public.

Kirron arrived here Tuesday. She was greeted with black flags and eggs by a small group of BJP activists.
