PM Modi and Amit Shah led BJP stormed back to power as the results of 17th Lok Sabha elections were declared on May 23. BJP`s firebrand Leader Giriraj Singh won from Bihar`s Begusarai seat that was one of the most discussed seat during the election campaign.

Debutant  Kanhiya Kumar who was being considered as a key contender to the experienced BJP leader Giriraj Singh got huge support from stars like lyricist Javed Akhtar, Swara Bhaskar, Prakash Raj and Shabana Azmi.

CPI`s candidate Kanhaiya Kumar`s campaign drew much attention because of high-profile supporters like Swara Bhaskar, Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar and Prakash Raj endorsing him in rallies.

In addition to Kanhaiya Kumar, Swara Bhaskar also campaigned for Aam Admi Party candidate Atishi Marlena from East Delhi who was fighting against former cricketer Gautam Gambhir. Star campaigned Atishi lost the election and stood third with 2.19lakh votes.

The post that was originally tweeted by Joy stated:

"In 2019, Majority didn’t vote for Atishi Marlena, who was Delhi University topper, studied at Oxford University and reformed Education in Delhi Govt Schools and Voted for Pragya Thakur, who was in Jail and out on Bail on Charges of Terrorism. This is New India in a Nutshell"

In 2019, Majority didnt vote for Atishi Marlena, who was Delhi University topper, studied at Oxford University and reformed Education in Delhi Govt Schools and Voted for Pragya Thakur, who was in Jail and out on Bail on Charges of Terrorism. This is New India in a Nutshell
