Shatrughan Sinha said he would campaign for his wife but not for any other non-Congress candidate.
Poonam Sinha is likely to be fielded from Lucknow seat against Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who is a BJP candidate, said party sources.
The former BJP MP joined Congress at the party headquarters in the presence of Congress general secretary K C Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala.
The actor-turned-politician, who has been criticising the Modi government for long, said it was 'painful' for him to leave the BJP.
Shatrughan Sinha has been openly critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah.
According to media reports, Sinha is likely to join the Congress and seek re-election on a ticket of the grand old party.
Shatrughan Sinha, known as the most vehement in-house critic of Modi, called the note ban a 'Tughlaqian decision'
