The Great Khali, a WWE sensation from India, is all set to campaign for his friend Anupam Hazra, who is contesting from Jadavpur Lok Sabha constituency on a BJP ticket this General Election, reports News18.
The champion wrestler will soon come to Kolkata to join Hazra while he files his nomination papers.
The incumbent MP from Bolpur, who was earlier with the Trinamool said, “Khali is a good friend and is coming to Kolkata to stand by me just for the sake of friendship when I file my nomination on Friday. I don’t believe in stereotype politics where only political figures come to stand by candidates’’.
“Khali is popular globally and is a youth icon and many of my supporters requested me to do something exceptional. I thought this was a unique platform to bring in Khali’’ says Hazra.
Hazra is pitted against Mimi Chakraborty, a popular Bengali actress. He was earlier expelled from Trinamool for alleged anti-party activities.
