The Great Khali Joins Political Party In India, Supports Prime Minister

The Great Khali has joined the largest political party in India, as he announced on Thursday. The Asian News International Twitter account noted today that the WWE Hall of Famer has announced that he’s joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the party of Indian Prime Minister Nerendra Modi.

The post quotes Khali as saying:

“I’m glad to have joined BJP… I feel that PM Modi’s work for the nation makes him the right Prime Minister. So, I thought why not be a part of his governance for the nation’s development. I joined BJP after being influenced by BJP’s national policy.”
