The Great Khali Has Entered The World Of Politics In India

WWE Hall of Famer The Great Khali is a national hero in India, but he has taken a next step in helping his country by entering politics.

Khali, real name Dalip Singh Rana, has joined India’s Bharatiya Janata Party, vowing to help the country progress.

The seven-foot giant will be working with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Khali released a statement to The Sun saying:

I have wrestled all over the world. If I just loved money and fame, then I would have stayed in the United States and in the WWE.

However, I have always loved my country. I was also impressed by all the work done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

So I told myself that even I should join him and help the country progress. I am a fan of his hard work and thinking.

BJP National General Secretary Vinod Tawde tweeted his approval of the WWE Hall of Famer joining the party, saying:

I warm heartedly welcome Shri Dalip Singh Rana ‘The Great Khali’ to BJP. His inspiration is drawn by Modi Ji’s vision for a new India and his willingness to work for nation’s growth is the guiding principle of BJP.
