Actor Arun Govil, who plays Lord Ram in the religious TV serial 'Ramayana', has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Arun Govil took the membership of the party on Thursday (March 18) at the BJP headquarters in Delhi. As soon as Arun Govil joined the BJP, the party has made it clear that he is not going to contest from any seat in the upcoming assembly elections-2021. But Arun Govil will definitely campaign for BJP. After joining the BJP, TV's most popular "Ram" Arun Govil said that there is nothing wrong in saying "Jai Shri Ram". The slogan of 'Jai Shri Ram' has become the hallmark of the BJP in West Bengal, where the BJP is hoping to form the government for the first time. ''
Arun Govil said, "The irritability of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to the slogan of 'Jai Shri Ram' was a trigger point for me to join BJP." There is nothing wrong in saying 'Jai Shri Ram' .
It is not a slogan, it is not a political slogan either. It is a way of life for us, it represents our culture and ethos. ''
The BJP has said that Arun Govil will not contest the election, but will campaign in favor of the party. His joining the BJP has got another attractive face to woo right-wing voters in the five state elections starting on March 27.
He said - There is nothing wrong in raising the slogan 'Jai Shri Ram'
Govil, who was present at the BJP press conference, said that there is nothing wrong in chanting the slogan 'Jai Shri Ram'. This slogan is quite echoing in the Bengal elections. With the same slogan, TMC chief and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had raised slogans in the presence of PM Narendra Modi at a function held in Kolkata and left without giving speeches.
