Prior to the Bengal Assembly elections last year, the BJP welcomed the actor into its fold in an effort to gain significant ground there. The politician-actor also discussed Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee’s detention in relation to the state’s teachers’ scam.
“If there is no evidence, he has no reason to fear. But if he has done something wrong, no power in the world can save him,” he said.
