Prakash Raj Blasts PM Modi as ‘Useless, Shameless, Heartless’ in Viral Video, Ignites Online Debate
Actor Prakash Raj is once again making waves with bold remarks aimed at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A viral video from the Wayanad Literature Festival 2024, recently resurfaced on social media, shows Raj delivering a scathing critique of Modi, calling him “useless, shameless, heartless, and visionless.”
The comments were made during a panel discussion, where Raj was asked about Modi meeting Bollywood’s Kapoor family while allegedly neglecting to visit conflict-hit Manipur. Responding sharply, Raj said, “Actors are going to meet an actor there, not the Prime Minister. We have a useless, shameless, heartless, visionless man as our country’s Prime Minister.”
He continued, criticizing Modi’s lack of engagement with critical issues like the Manipur crisis: “If Manipur were in another country, he would have visited. Because it’s in my country, he avoids it. Let’s be clear: we have a leader without vision.”
The video reignited polarized reactions online. Supporters praised Raj’s fearlessness, with comments calling him a “real hero” and “braveheart,” while others accused him of targeting specific faiths or being biased. Some lauded his unwavering stance despite facing career setbacks, while others dismissed his remarks as typical of his outspoken reputation.
Prakash Raj is known for frequently criticizing the current government, and this latest video has only cemented his position as one of the most vocal actors in Indian cinema when it comes to politics.
