Indore: Patidar quota leader Hardik Patel who grabbed the spotlight by leading the Patidar reservation agitation said “Why can’t we view Sunny Leone as an actress on screen independent of her old image? What’s the problem if we look at her the way we look at actresses Nargis, Sridevi, or Madhuri Dixit.” If our thinking is such that we still want to see Sunny Leone on the basis of her old image (as a porn star), then this country can never change.
During a press conference Patel had reportedly spoken in favour of the actress in the past as well. He was in the city to announce a ‘yatra’ he would be embarking on next month across Madhya Pradesh to create “awareness” among voters. The quota leader said Leone deserves respect as a film actress.
Responding to a query, Patel said the BJP was “greedy” for power.
He expressed apprehension that no elections would be held in the country after 2019 if Narendra Modi becomes Prime Minister again.
