Cine stars Sritam, Pinki join BJP

BHUBANESWAR: Film actor Sritam Das and actress Pinki Pradhan joined BJP on Wednesday. Party’s State president Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo welcomed the duo to the party in the presence of other party leaders.

The film stars said they got inspired by BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and values of the party. “Most of the youths of the country want to see Modi as Prime Minister so that he can solve problems like unemployment, corruption, law and order situation and violence against women,” Sritam said.
