New Delhi: Noted actor and dancer Sapna Chaudhary on Saturday officially joined the Congress party. Her political entry comes days ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2019.
Congress insiders claim that the party, considering the Jat vote base in western Uttar Pradesh, is in favour of fielding Chaudhary from the region.
Apart Chaudhary and Malini, other celebrities who have entered the polling fray include Mimi Chakraborty, Nusrat Jahan, Shatabdi Roy, Moon Moon Sen and Deepak Adhikari — five prominent stars of the Tollywood. They have been fielded by the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal.
