Anupam Kher is a real life villian: Yogi Adityanath

BJP leader and Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath has taken on actor Anupam Kher, calling him a “real-life villain” in reaction to the actor’s reported statement that the Hindutva firebrand leader should be thrown out of the BJP and put behind bars.

“There are some people in the party [BJP] who speak nonsense, and ill-behave, whether it is Sadhvi or Yogi...they should be put behind the bars,



thrown out of the party,” Mr. Kher had said in Kolkata.

Yogi Adityanath retorted to Mr. Kher’s singling him out by saying: “Anupam Kher has proved that he is a villain not only on reel but also in real life.”

Sadhvi Prachi too attacked him, saying “We will continue our fight for the Hindu cause and if Kher has courage, he should jail me and Yogi Adityanath.”
