“We had started the marathon pledging support to Modi as his tenure has helped the country in big way and created a new image for India globally,” said Sneha, who has also acted in some serials and ad films.
The opposition and other parties are playing dirty games and trying to malign his image which is unfortunate, she said adding that they (the runners) are getting huge support from the people.
