Actor and television personality Shekhar Suman’s decision to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the day of the third phase of Lok Sabha polling has provided a boost to the party’s campaign. Speaking at a press conference held at the BJP headquarters, Shekhar Suman expressed gratitude for what he described as a divine calling to join the BJP.

Addressing the media alongside senior BJP leaders, including National General Secretary Vinod Tawde and National Media Department In-Charge Anil Baluni, Shekhar Suman reflected on his unexpected decision to align with the BJP.

“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 remarked in Hindi.

In his address, Shekhar Suman emphasised his commitment to the nation and emphasized the importance of action over mere words. “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,” he asserted.

Furthermore, Shekhar Suman expressed gratitude towards key BJP leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP chief JP Nadda for their leadership.

Notably, along with Shekhar Suman, Radhika Khera, who previously served as the national coordinator of the Congress’ media department, also joined the BJP. This development underscores the ongoing dynamics and shifts within India’s political landscape as the Lok Sabha elections progress.
