New Delhi: Actor Rupali Ganguly joined the Bharatiya Janata Party here on Wednesday ahead of the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
BJP national general secretary Vinod Tawde welcomed Ganguly into the party fold and used the opportunity to attack the opposition parties over Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Maria Alam’s appeal for “vote jehad”.
Alam, while seeking votes for the INDIA bloc’s candidate from Farrukhabad Lok Sabha seat, called for a “vote jehad,” saying it was necessary in the current situation for the minority community to dislodge the BJP from power.
Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his work, Ganguly said, “The one personality that attracts everyone towards BJP is PM Narendra Modi.”
“His working style, personality and the way he has taken our country towards development, every Indian wants to join ‘Modi Sena’ and contribute to the country, and I also felt the same and hence I joined the BJP,” she told reporters.
Also addressing the media post joining the party, the actor said, “When I see this ‘Mahayagya’ of development, I feel that I should also take part in this. I need your blessings and support so that whatever I do, I do it right and good,” she said.
After joining the BJP, the actor, along with astrologer Ameya Joshi, met party president JP Nadda, in Delhi.
In March this year, the Sarabhai vs Sarabhai actress met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she revealed on her Instagram handle.
“Last Week was special for reasons beyond words and 8th March 2024 will go down as one of the most memorable and cherished days of my life! A day I will not stop reliving in my mind and feel euphoric about,” the actor wrote on her Instagram handle.
“It was the day my dream came true… that of meeting our Honourable PM Shri Narendra Modiji,” she said.
