Claiming that Rajput’s death is an ’emotional’ issue and not a political one, the BJP’s art and culture wing defended the campaign.
In poll-bound Bihar, Bharatiya Janata Party’s art and culture wing has now released posters, seeking justice for late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The 34-years-old actor from Bihar allegedly died by suicide at his Mumbai home on June 14 of this year.
“Na bhule hain, na bhulne denge (Neither have we forgotten nor will let anyone forget Sushant),” the posters circulated by BJP’s art and culture wing read. The BJP, earlier, had claimed that the actor’s demise will not be turned into an election issue ahead of the 2020 Bihar Assembly polls. Other than the posters, the party is also distributing car stickers with the same slogans on posters.
Claiming that Rajput’s death is an ’emotional’ issue and not a political one, the BJP’s art and culture wing defended the campaign. It also added that the party has been campaigning both online and offline ever since the actor’s death.
Varun Kumar Singh, the convenor of the BJP’s art and culture wing in Bihar, told the Indian Express that apart from thousands of car stickers with Sushant’s photo and the message, masks with the late actor’s face on them have also been distributed in various districts. He also expressed surprise that the campaign caught the national eye only in September.
He also went on to add that the BJP’s art and culture wing in Bihar has shot a two-episode video on Sushant’s life. The same will be released on social media shortly, Singh added.
Following the actor’s demise, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, and BJP leader Ram Kripal Yadav are among some of the political operatives who have met Sushant’s father in Patna.
