Lok Sabha Polls 2024: YouTuber Manish Kashyap joins BJP ahead of Elections
Lok Sabha Polls 2024: YouTuber Manish Kashyap on Thursday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
Manish Kashyap, upon joining the BJP, emphasized his commitment to defending Sanatana values and promoting nationalism.
"We came from Bihar with Manoj Tiwari, yesterday. I could be released from jail only due to them and the bad days of my life ended. So, I joined the BJP. We have to strengthen Bihar. Lalu's family looted and destroyed Bihar. My fight is against those who defame Sanatana and those who are against nationalism and this will continue," Manish Kashyap said.
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, instrumental in Kashyap's recruitment to the party, highlighted Kashyap's dedication to serving the people's welfare.
Tiwari expressed confidence in Kashyap's advocacy for public issues and his alignment with PM Modi's vision for the betterment of the underprivileged.
After joining the BJP, Manish Kashyap also met with BJP party president JP Nadda later in the day. Kashyap reiterated his commitment to nationalism, emphasizing the BJP's distinctiveness as a party.
He expressed gratitude towards the BJP for offering opportunities to individuals from humble backgrounds, contrasting it with other parties in Bihar known for requiring financial inducements for membership. Kashyap praised the BJP for its respect towards the underprivileged, women, and YouTubers, asserting its status as the world's largest and most capable party.
Earlier, the Madras High Court quashed the detention order against YouTuber Manish Kashyap.
While quashing the detention order, the HC observed that the authorities had not followed due procedure while detaining Kashyap under the NSA Act. The court thus directed Kashyap to be set at liberty if he was not needed in connection with any other case.
The case stemmed from a complaint regarding an alleged fake video posted on YouTube, falsely claiming migrant workers from Bihar were being attacked in Tamil Nadu, thus challenging their safety in the state.
