Messages from actors in the film industry have been pouring in wishing Narendra Modi and the BJP on their victory in the Lok Sabha elections. Modi thanked Bollywood celebrities such as Rishi Kapoor, Asha Bhosle and Akshay Kumar, and Rajinikanth and Mohanlal in.the South, for their wishes.
Several stars congratulated DMK leader MK Stalin, YSRCP Jagan Mohan Reddy and their allies for the sweeping victory in the South where the BJP has failed. Some have expressed dissatisfaction with the overall results and hoped that Modi will live up to his promise of an inclusive government.
Director Seenu Ramasamy tweeted that those who lost have only helped the winners emerge victorious. The sun has blossomed, the lotus and the two-leaves have fallen and the communist parties and Vaiko have emerged as stars, he wrote.
சூரியன் மலர்ந்தது
தாமரை உதித்தது
இலையும்.கிழைத்தது
அரிவால் சுத்திலும் நட்சத்திரமானது
வை.கோ இன்றுதான் கோவானார்வென்றவர்களுக்கு வாழ்த்துக்கள்
தோற்வர்கள் பிறர் வெல்ல உதவியவர்கள் எனப்பொருள் கொள்க.
மக்கள் தீர்ப்பு இது.#TNElection2019#IndianElections2019— Seenu Ramasamy (@seenuramasamy) May 23, 2019
