I shared many videos supporting the Prime Minister. Videos were also shared against Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal. Seeing them, one could say that I will vote only for the Bharatiya Janata Party for the next 70 years. But the situation has changed in the last 10 years&#8230; I will now contest against the Prime Minister in the Lok Sabha polls as an Independent candidate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\">\u0935\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0923\u0938\u0940 \u092e\u0948\u0902 \u0906 \u0930\u0939\u093e \u0939\u0942\u0901\u2026<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ShyamRangeelaForVaranasi?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ShyamRangeelaForVaranasi<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8BOFx4nnjn\">pic.twitter.com\/8BOFx4nnjn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Shyam Rangeela (@ShyamRangeela) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShyamRangeela\/status\/1785680070474158346?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 1, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He added: &#8220;My candidature will give the people of Varanasi an option while voting, unlike in Surat and Indore.
