Swara Bhaskar campaigns for Kanhaiya Kumar on her Birthday; shares a special message
Bollywood actress Swara Bhaskar, who is well known for her outspoken attitude was seen campaigning for Kanhaiya Kumar, former JNUSU leader and CPI candidate from Begusarai. The actress campaigned for Kumar on her 31st birthday. Swara Bhaskar, who is one of the most vocal critics of the central government in Bollywood said, “If Kanhaiya Kumar wins, it would be a victory for democracy.”
"It is a rather unusual way of spending one's birthday. But Kanhaiya is a friend and I think he is fighting an important battle on behalf of us all. If he wins, it will be a victory for Indian democracy," Ms Bhaskar said.
"I've never been part of a political campaign before so I literally have no idea what to expect," the 30-year-old actress added. Notably, Swara Bhaskar is Jawaharlal Nehru University graduate. She said people should be aligned to Mr Kumar's ideology.
"Kanhaiya raises issues that concern all Indians -- issues like the threat to the Constitutional values and to the Constitution of India, unemployment, the rise of mob violence, the need for social justice and the need to focus on issues that will better the lives of all Indians. I think as responsible and patriotic Indians we should all feel aligned to this ideology/or thought process," she added. Swara Bhaskar called him a principled politician and an admirable orator.
