Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt is all set to ‘remake’ his political career. The ‘Khalnayak’ and ‘Munna Bhai’ actor will contest the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections from Ghaziabad seat in Uttar Pradesh. Interestingly, the actor had once starred in a film titled Zila Ghaziabad.
Late Sunil Dutt, served as the Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports. And, his daughter, Priya Dutt, was a successful Parliament member. Now, looks like Sanjay Dutt is choosing the same path as his family members.
With the LS elections nearing, Sanjay has now decided to contest from Ghaziabad. His competitor will be former AAP leader Kumar Vishwas. This is not the first time we are seeing the actor in the world of politics. Earlier in 2009, he was seen contesting the general election from Samajwadi Party. But, he later said that his entry into politics was by mistake.
For the upcoming LS elections, Kumar Vishwas will be contesting from Congress party in Ghaziabad and will be having neck-to-neck competition from SP-BSP collation candidate Sanjay Dutt. The actor is not new to the political arena and his fans are showing 100 percent confidence in his move this time.
Sanjay Dutt’s sister Priya Dutt, who is a two time MP from Congress, will also be contesting the Lok Sabha Elections as Congress has nominated her from the Mumbai – North Central seat. Priya Dutt had lost the seat to Poonam Mahajan of BJP in the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections.
