However on Wednesday topping the previous number, around 907 members of field of literature and artists released a new joint statement supporting BJP.

It further talks about how under Modi governance, India has acquired more respect and success globally. “We, creative artistes and persons belonging to the field of literature appeal to all our fellow citizens to caste their vote and exercise their right to elect the new Govt. without any pressure and prejudice.
We believe that during the last five years, India has seen a Govt. that has delivered corruption-free good governance and development-oriented administration. During this period, globally India has acquired greater respect. It is our firm conviction that the continuance of Govt. led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the need of the hour.”
