Modi's Imitator Contesting Against Modi

Comedian Shyam Rangeela, once known for mimicking Prime Minister Narendra Modi is now shifting gears from television to politics. 

He aims to contest against Modi in Varanasi emphasizing the importance of preserving democracy. 

Rangeela asserts that his candidacy is not symbolic but he intends to genuinely compete. 

Despite potential scrutiny from agencies like the Enforcement Directorate, he remains confident, claiming he's clean and ready to face any investigation.

Rangeela's journey into politics routed from facing obstacles in his comedic career where he felt sidelined due to political influences in the entertainment industry. 

Although his earlier attempt with the Aam Aadmi Party in Rajasthan didn't pan out he believes running independently gives him more autonomy.

Choosing Varanasi due to its national spotlight, Rangeela acknowledges the challenge of taking on Modi in a constituency where sentiment largely favors the PM. 

But he believes in offering voters an alternative banking on the idea that if people could support Modi they could also consider him.
