Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to commence his Lok Sabha election campaign in Uttar Pradesh tomorrow with a grand rally in Meerut, where the BJP has nominated actor Arun Govil, known for his portrayal of Lord Ram in the iconic TV serial ‘Ramayan’, as its candidate.
Sources reveal that alongside Arun Govil, Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) president Jayant Chaudhary, who recently joined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), will also grace the stage with the Prime Minister.
Arun Govil’s portrayal of Lord Ram earned him widespread acclaim, making him a household name across the country. A BJP leader noted, “Following the consecration of Lord Ram’s idol at the temple in Ayodhya, PM Modi is launching his election campaign from Arun Govil’s constituency, a figure held in high regard for his portrayal of Lord Ram.”
