Actor and TV celebrity Shekhar Suman has joined the BJP on the day of the third round of the Lok Sabha elections, giving the party a boost.
On Tuesday, Mr Suman addressed the media at the party headquarters in the presence of senior BJP leaders such as National General Secretary Vinod Tawde and National Media Department In-Charge Anil Baluni, saying he had no idea he would be taking this step until yesterday and thanked God for ordering him to do so.
“Even I did not know till yesterday that I would be sitting here. A lot of things happen in life. Sometimes you don’t know what you are supposed to do and you get a direction from above and you follow it. I have come here with a positive outlook and I would like to thank God for directing me to come here,” he said in Hindi.
“You have to follow what Lord Ram has thought. I don’t have any negative thoughts, I am thinking only about the country. A man depends on his words but they have no meaning beyond a point. But there is a difference between saying something and doing it. I can give a long address but it will mean anything only after I have done something,” the actor added, and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP chief JP Nadda, among others.
Radhika Khera, who was the national coordinator of the Congress’ media department and had quit the party on Sunday, also joined the BJP along with Mr Suman.
