Bollywood actor Neha Sharma might contest LS Polls from Bihar.
RJD leader and former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav said seat-sharing among Mahagathbandhan allies would be “decided in two-three days as it is in the final stage”
The upcoming Lok Sabha Elections might mark Bollywood actor and model Neha Sharma’s entry into politics, her father Congress leader Ajay Sharma said. MLA from Bihar’s Bhagalpur, Sharma said if his party gets to contest from the seat after discussions on Mahagatbandhan seat-sharing, his daughter might get a ticket from the constituency.
“Congress should get Bhagalpur constituency as it is our stronghold, talks on seat sharing arrangement is on. If we get this seat, it is up to the party’s high command to take a call on who can contest, if the party asks me, I will contest or maybe my daughter Neha Sharma might contest from this constituency. We will have to wait and see,” MLA Ajay Sharma said.
