It seems Arun Govil, known for his role as Lord Ram in the Ramayan TV serial, has clarified his departure to Mumbai following the Meerut Lok Sabha elections. He mentioned that his move was on the instructions of the BJP for campaign purposes. Govil expressed gratitude to the people of Meerut for their support during the campaign and pledged to work for the city’s development under Narendra Modi’s leadership.
In response, Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai criticized Govil and the BJP, suggesting Govil left due to discomfort among the public and pointing out incidents during the campaign, such as alleged theft and Govil’s purported lack of knowledge about Meerut’s issues.
Rai’s accusations highlight a broader criticism of BJP leaders engaging in what he terms as “parachute politics,” implying they lack genuine concern for local issues and rely on outside influence.
The exchange underscores the political tensions and narratives surrounding the recent Lok Sabha elections in Meerut.
