Hema Malini greets people at an election rally in Motihari, Bihar, on Saturday
Pitching in for Narendra Modi as Prime Minister, actress-turned-politician Hema Malini today said the people are fed up with corruption and social evils under Congress rule and looking eagerly for a change.
"People of India are fed up with rampant corruption and prevalence of social evils during Congress rule," she said while addressing an election rally in Motihari in favour of party candidate Radha Mohan Singh.
Only a strong government under Narendra Modi could rid the country off all these problems, she said.
The actress, who fought this year's election on a BJP ticket from Mathura, hit the campaign trail after end of voting in her constituency on April 30.
She also made a scathing attack on RJD president Lalu Prasad and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar blaming them for the backwardness of Bihar.
"The pace of development in Bihar has halted in Nitish Kumar regime after BJP got out the ministry," she said.
