"It is too early to comment on ticket allocation....The decision rests with the high command," Mumbai Congress spokesman Krishna Hegde said.

"The party is satisfied with Sanjay's statement where he has said that if he does contest, it will be on a Congress ticket. In the last ten days, there has been unnecessary speculation over Sanjay's political plans and it is good that he has clarified his stand," Hegde said.

Sanjay told a national daily in an interview from Bahamas where he is shooting for Blue that if he does contest, it will be on a Congress ticket and rubbished reports that Samajwadi Party has sent him feelers to join it.

The Bollywood star, in the newspaper interview, stated that he was confident that the party would give both him and his sister and sitting Priya, tickets to contest the elections.

The actor has also said that he would like to follow his father late Sunil Dutt's footsteps to enter politics and do social work. He has also been quoted saying that attempts by vested interests to create a rift between him and his sister will not succeed.
