Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta to campaign for Congress


Press Trust of India

KANPUR, Mar, 24: Congress has said that Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta will canvass for the party in the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls. 

Union minister of state for home and Congress' third-time candidate from the city Sri Prakash Jaiswal said that filmstars Shah Rukh Khan, Priety Zinta, Govinda and Nagma will campaign for the party and participate in rallies and road shows.

He said though Govinda is a Congress leader, Nagma had been an active worker and campaigned for the party in earlier elections.

Asked if Khan and Preity will be able to campaign following the busy IPL schedule, Jaiswal said they will spare time for the purpose.

On party's alliance with SP in Uttar Pradesh, the leader said that he had met party general secretary Amar Singh in this regard on High Command's order and the final decision will be taken by the party.

Jaiswal, however, said whether Congress reaches an alliance with SP or not will have no bearing on its relationship with the Mulayam Singh Yadav-led party and the two parties will continue to support each other.

    This was the last option to attract people for congress. People in india are betrayed by congress. But people are clever. Youth has got their responsibilities. They are not blind. Go back Sharukh, preethi to your home. Be happy with your family.
