As it was the last day of campaigning for the third phase of the Uttar Pradesh elections, Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut made an appeal to the voters of the state.
She took to her Instagram handle and extended her support to the ruling BJP’s Yogi Adityanath government and asked her fans in the state to caste a vote for him.
The popular Queen actor dropped a video featuring herself, she said, “Namaste Doston, hum sab jaante hai ke Uttar Pradesh mein chunav chal rahe hai. Aur iss chunavi kurukshetra mein, humara ek matra hatiyar hai- vote. (Hello friends, we all know that there are elections held in Uttar Pradesh. In this political battle, our only weapon is 'vote')."
She further added, “Yaad rakhein ki hume apni chaheti Yogi sarkar ko firse wapas lana hai, isiliye bhar bharke votes dene honge. Aur jab bhi vote dene jaaye, apne saath 3-4 logon ko zarur leke jaaye. Yaad rakhiye, Vijay ka yeh kirtiman toote na, ek bhi vote chootena… Jai Shri Ram! (Remember, we have to bring back the Yogi government and we will have to give him lots of votes. Thus, take at least three to four people when you go for voting.)"
Last year, during a shoot for her upcoming film Tejas, the actress had met the UP Chief Minister in Lucknow. The CM’s office had that time called it a ‘courtesy’ meet. Soon after the meeting the government had announced Kangana the brand ambassador of it ODOP program.
