Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (MS)
Bengaluru, Apr 7: Big Boss fame, Sandalwood actor, Jayalakshmi alias Nurse Jayalakshmi joined Mahila Empowerment Party (MEP) officially on Friday, April 6 in a ceremony at Leela Palace Hotel in the city. She was welcomed into the party by Dr Novera Sheik, national president of MEP.
After her joining Nurse Jayalakshmi spoke to the scribes and said, "I have joined the party with the intention of conveying the ideology of MEP and the works done by Dr Novera Sheik, national president of the party to the commoner. Today politics has stooped to a very low level. The representatives we have elected and sent are busy abusing each other. In the coming Karnataka assembly elections, the role of MEP will be a deciding factor regardless of any party forming the government. I will contest from any constituency which the party assigns me."
Speaking on the occasion Dr Novera Sheik said, "We will release the list of our party candidates very soon. We have the intention of fielding able candidates in 224 legislative constituencies. Out of the 35% will be represented by women,"
'Meti' Vijayalakshmi to fight against former minister H Y Meti
In the meantime, 'Meti' Vijayalakshmi, who was allegedly involved in the sex scandal with former minister H Y Meti, will contest against H Y Meti as an independent candidate from Bagalkote legislative constituency.
Speaking to the reporters she said, "Everyone knows the injustice that is meted out to me in the sex CD scandal. In order to provide justice to scores of women who have been subjected to ill-treatment like me, I have decided to contest from Bagalkote legislative constituency as an independent candidate in the upcoming assembly elections. I will risk even my life to get justice to women who are facing injustice and cheating from the society,”
"I have been invited by MEP party to join their party. I have asked them to give me some time. However, I want to contest as an independent candidate. Winning and getting defeated is a part of politics. That is why I request the public to bless me like own daughter and elect me from Bagalkote,” she added.

Sat, Apr 07 2018It looks like "devide and rule" politics .....! We being wise must think some points very seriously. 1.Whois the supremo leader of this so called party ? 2.With what agenda they ask for vote ? 3.Is anyanybody has previous experience in politics? 4.Is candidature is given on qualification basis? or just to devide some votes. 5.Is they have manifesto ? If yes, are they capable to fulfill in a period of 5 years? 6.Suppose , if they won, with which party they will have tie up ?
No glamour in voting. .

Sat, Apr 07 2018Now MEP prospects may be increased with this kissing Nurse Jayalakshmi joining. Dr Novera Sheik should make her star campaigner 'Emraan Hashmi' and 'Mallika Sherawat' who have vast experience in this field. Probable she can opt for 'lips' as her party symbol which can be used for orating to various other uses.
Mahila Empowerment Party (MEP) is another proxy of the BJP which will field its candidates strategically were winning margin of Congress candidate is less and Muslim votes is crucial.
If one scroll through her NGO service she can be seen with many BJP leaders. She also been awarded by PM Modi government.

Sat, Apr 07 2018Votes BEWARE.............!!! MEP is created with the idea from Mr. Amit Shah, BJP National President in Karnataka to divide the Muslim votes which otherwise would have gone to Congress. If you find one Brahmin contesting from this party, then I salute.

Sat, Apr 07 2018MEP is a Muslim Women's party financed by Amit Shah, and floated by Nauhira shiekh. Its aim is to divide the "muslim women" votes and damage Congress candidate's prospects in Muslim dominated areas. Nauhira is a Paid Stooge of BJP.
