Digital Desk: Renowned actor Rupali Ganguly, known for her roles in popular series like 'Anupama' and 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai', made headlines today as she formally joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections. The significant possibility unfolded at the party's headquarters in Kolkata, graced by the presence of several senior BJP leaders, including national general secretary Vinod Tawde.
Expressing her admiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his transformative initiatives, Ganguly stated, "Seeing the 'Mahayagya' of development around me, I felt that I should also be a part of it." She voiced her commitment to following in PM Modi's footsteps and serving fellow citizens in any capacity entrusted to her, pledging to work under the guidance of Amit Shah and make her leaders proud.
Welcoming Ganguly into the BJP fold, Mr. Tawde seized the opportunity to critique the Opposition, particularly targeting Samajwadi Party leader Maria Alam's controversial appeal for 'love jihad'. He condemned the Opposition's divisive tactics, labeling them as desperate measures in the face of BJP's popularity. Tawde criticized the SP leader's call for 'vote jihad', asserting that it reflected the Opposition's anxiety.
Amid the political rhetoric, Ganguly's decision to join the BJP underscores the growing influence of public figures in Indian politics and their alignment with specific ideologies and leaders. As the Lok Sabha elections progress, Ganguly's move is likely to invigorate BJP's campaign, adding a notable celebrity endorsement to the party's narrative of development and governance.
