Speaking on the occasion Khali said, “I have joined BJP today, I am so happy. I am not here for name or fame. I have got fame in wrestling. I was staying in the USA, but I came here in India after taking inspiration from our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I am inspired by his ideology and policies. BJP is a nationalist party; they work to take India forward. I am inspired by all of this and hence, came back to my country.”
