Post Lok Sabha Election defeat, Prakash Raj says his big fight will continue

While the nation looks forward to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s second term in office, multiple National Award winning actor Prakash Raj is certainly not. The veteran actor contested and lost elections as an independent candidate from Bangalore Central constituency. Prakash Raj is not chuffed with Modi’s win and openly stated that his struggle for a secular country will continue.
In an interview to In.com, Prakash Raj said, “Modi ji has won the election.Modi ji and BJP have successfully been able to transform what the issue was in the elections. The nation fell for the Pulwama attack plot and the point is that they marketed it well. But I personally feel the country is in danger. So my resolve to fight is accepting that they have won on these issues. People like us will continue to fight such narratives. Our job doesn’t stop here and it’s only going to get tougher from here. There is no point in getting angry on people, they have fallen into a trap like this, it's fine but the fight will continue.”
As the BJP's tally went up in Karnataka as compared to its performance in 2014, Prakash gave props to the party by accepting that they have done a successful campaign and there is no point in blaming anybody else as to why this person won and that person lost because they just swept everyone. Prakash said that the country is in danger now, "in a much bigger danger". But he added that he will always raise his voice and fight for a secular country.
Prakash feels that people will realise the mistake they have made by re-electing the NDA alliance back to power. He said, “Next five years are going to be difficult. They are going to be at sea because they haven’t really addressed any real issues and I don’t see them doing it in the future. You won’t be surprised if the prices go up, and there will be an eruption in the lower community. Jobs are going to be scarce. People will slowly understand what they are getting into because in our country we can’t keep quite you know. As a citizen of this country, I need to stay here and fight.”
