Ranvir Shorey on India’s hurdles due to ‘Andolanjeevis’
Ranvir Shorey tweeted on Wednesday to express his support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about India’s chances to make a ‘special place’ in the post COVID-19 world. The Angrezi Medium star, however, felt that the 'Andolanjeevis’ were the 'problem.'
He accused them of not caring about the crores of Indian families who felt could benefit from a ‘prosperous New India’. Seemingly continuing his attack on Congress Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi, he stated that the group cared only about ‘one family and its Pappu Prince.’

He continued that the citizens should live with the Farm Laws till the end of PM Modi’s second tenure till 2024, and suggested that they could then vote the government out if its benefits would not be seen.
With India sending its vaccines to numerous nations, he also believed that the country was proving to be the 'answer' with its '#VaccineDiplomacy' while China remained as the ‘problem’.
