Keeping the spotlight away from BJP MP Ravi Kishan is a hard nut to crack!
After ‘jaldi the late’, ‘home from work’, and his signature tune ‘koteshwara ’, the superstar of the Bhojpuri film industry and the two-time Parliamentarian, Ravi Kishan, has once again grabbed the limelight. This time, the MP has compared Gorakhpur, his electoral constituency, with Spain, emphasising the massive industrial growth that the area has achieved. The remarks, which were made in front of the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, soon spread like wildfire on social media, with internet users reacting to them.
So, what are the remarks?
Addressing a public gathering in Gorakhpur, Kishan, in his trademark Bhojpuri dialect, said, “Let the world know that we are proud of Gorakhpur. “I feel like it’s Spain. I feel like this is an amazing place. It feels like a smart city,” he said. He added that he has seen all the famous cities in the world and still is amazed by the major infrastructural boost in the city.
Kishan then took a jibe, which many believe was targeted at the Opposition parties. Switching to Hindi, he said, “What can we do if you are blind (tum aandha hai aankh ka to hum kya kare)?
Although the remarks were aimed at highlighting the growth and transformation of Gorakhpur, they left the senior BJP leadership, including Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in massive laughter.
