Shah rukh khan

Kanpur Congress 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.

Politics the last resort for scoundrels by Anand on 25 Mar 2009

Preity and Sharukh has acheived what seasoned players can acheived by destroying Cricket and the spirit of the game with their amateur IPL sponsorship and now thye can once for all dump the congress by campaigning and destroying that party as well.As far as Preity or Sharukh is concerned the platform is used only for promoting their image and making money in the process.With IPL they have damaged the game and made millions as advt and sponsorship.COngress cannot get any one else with common intelligence other than these jokers and belly dancers like Nagma .It is a shame on a party to stoop down to a level to cheat the gullible public with cheap slogans and empty promises sugar coated by the tinsel world damsels and khans.

Eunich Dance by Dee on 25 Mar 2009

Congress has lots of fools anyway, so why they are hiring more fools from bollywood? Probably to make direct connection with Dawood, to get money.

Shah Rukh, Preity to campaign for Congress by AMP on 25 Mar 2009

These are bunch of puppets who wants cheap publicity and think that they will be able to make congress win. If they are so much concern about the poor people of India, these jokers should raise the fund and provide the basic sanitation and clean water to the slum dewellers in Mumbai where these outsides have made fortune!
