Narendra Modi, nobody else: Jaya Bachchan on politician more popular than film stars

NEW DELHI: Can politicians ever match the popularity of actors? No, says actor and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan. Not unless you are Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing the 'She' conclave organised by India TV, the veteran star said many Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders win elections only because of Modi's name.

"I feel this very strongly. I belong to the opposition but the fact is that the ruling party leaders, whether they were film actors or non-film actors, emerged victorious only because of Narendra Modi's name, not for their own political capability," she added.
