Bollywood actor Prakash Raj praised him on the victory of saffron party in Gujarat elections on Monday, but also asked why the party could not achieve its goal of getting more than 150 seats? Raj congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the victory of the BJP by a tweet, but he said, "Should not you clean the sump with your development? What happened to 150 plus? He said, will Modi wait a moment and think that divisive politics did not work.

The actor said, "Our country has bigger issues than supporting Pakistan, religion, caste, supporting threatening groups and removing mutual rigging. We have real rural issues." He said that the ignored voices of the farmers, the poor and the rural India have become faster. He asked the Prime Minister whether he could hear these voices. Prakash Raj had earlier questioned Modi's silence on the killing of senior journalist and activist Gauri Lankesh. He was one of the close friends of Gauri Lankesh.

At the same time, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday declared victory of BJP in the Gujarat Assembly elections as "temporary" and "shame saving". Mamta termed BJP's victory as a 'moral defeat'. Mamta tweeted, "I congratulate the voters of Gujarat for a very balanced decision in this period. This is a temporary and shame-winning victory, but it shows the moral defeat of the BJP."
