Comedian Shyam Rangeela rose to recognition by imitating politicians such as Rahul Gandhi, the former president of the Congress, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Known for his impersonation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, comedian Shyam Rangeela has declared that he will run for the Lok Sabha from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Mr. Rangeela intends to contest as an independent. In contrast to the uncontested victories of BJP candidates Mukesh Dalal and Shankar Lalwani in Surat and Indore, he promised to provide voters in Varanasi an alternate option.
