DMK coming up with detailed programmes for each ward in Thousand Lights is a sign it has failed the people, says Khushbu
Actor-politician Khushbu’s high profile seems an advantage to the BJP as she seeks election from Thousand Lights. As she walks down the streets of the constituency, women and children flock to her for a selfie and shower her with petals. She believes she has a connect with the people of the constituency where Ezhilan Naganathan of the DMK is pitted against her. She is confident this connect will help her win.
Your visibility as an actor gives you an advantage over your opponent. Is it this factor that is attracting crowds to your campaign?
They love me as an actor, a woman, a politician. It is enough that they shower affection on me. I have never met any of them before. The women and children probably haven’t seen my films yet. Whatever they have seen on television matters to them.
