MADHURI Dixit Is Likely To Be BJP’s Candidate For The Pune LS Seat

BHARATIYA Janata Party (BJP) is considering fielding Bollywood actor Madhuri Dixit-Nene as its candidate for the coming Lok Sabha elections .Incidentally, BJP National President Amit Shah and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had met the actor and her husband Dr Shriram Madhav Nene at her Mumbai residence as part of BJP’s ‘Sampark for Samarthan’ -Contact for Support programme and apprised her on the achievements of the Narendra Modi government. Her name has been shortlisted as a candidate for the Pune Lok Sabha seat, reported some Martha channels.”The party is seriously considering giving candidature to Madhuri Dixit in the 2019 general elections. We think the Pune Lok Sabha constituency will be better for her,” he said. The 51-year-old actor has featured in many Bollywood films, including ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!’, ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, ‘Saajan’ and ‘Devdas’.In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP had wrested the Pune Lok Sabha seat from the Congress, with Anil Shirole winning by a margin of over three lakh votes. On the plans to field the actor, a senior BJP functionary said, “Such tactics were implemented by Narendra Modi in Gujarat when he became the chief minister for the first time. He changed all the candidates in local bodies’ election and the party reaped benefits of that decision.””As fresh faces were introduced, there was nothing to criticise them with. It left the opposition shocked and the BJP won maximum seats and retained power,” he said. According to the leader, a similar experiment was also successfully carried out in Delhi local bodies’ polls in 2017, where all the sitting councillors were denied tickets. The BJP won the seats and retained the control, he said. Several non-performing MPs are likely to replace for this introducing more acceptable faces, said a BJP functionary in Mumbai.  Mumbai born Madhuri Dixit has been praised by critics for her acting and dancing skills.
