Jaya Prada Backs Ravi Kishan, Says Jaya Bachchan 'Doing Politics' over Issue of Drug Addiction in Film Industry
News 18BJP leader and actor Jaya Prada came out in support of Bhojpuri actor and MP Ravi Kishan’s remarks about the issue of drug addiction, and criticised Rajya Sabha Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan for “doing politics over the issue”. I think Jaya Bachchan ji is doing politics over the issue,” Jaya Prada said. Bachchan, in her speech that drew praise from many in Bollywood, derided the “few” in the film industry who were involved in drug trafficking and addiction, saying, “They are biting the hand that feeds them.” She also said that Kishan’s attempt to raise the issue in Parliament was a “tactic” to divert attention from pressing issues like unemployment and a crumbling economy. “I think the government must stand by the entertainment industry because it always comes forward to help the government in whatever good work it takes up,” Jaya Bachchan said.
