Actress-turned-politician Isha Koppikar says she admires Prime Minister Narendra Modi a lot and he inspired her to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as the working president of the Women Transport Wing in January.
"BJP is the ruling party of our country and Modiji has worked a lot for the betterment of our country in last five years. His ideologies inspired me to join the party. I want Modiji to become PM once again. He walks the talk," Isha told IANS.
According to Isha, politics is a great platform through which she can help the society.
"I always wanted to do something for the society. Whatever fame and success I have earned is because of people only. So I thought now it is the time to give back to them and joined politics to work for the society," she added.
On her plan of action as the president of the Women Transport Wing of the BJP, Isha said she is planning to introduce more "pink taxies" and "female drivers" in the nation.
"I am a true feminist at heart. I will try my best to uplift our women and make them independent," she added.
