New Delhi: There were speculations that controversial Haryanvi singer-dancer Sapna Chaudhary joined the Congress on Saturday.
Haryanvi artist and popular stage performer Sapna Choudhary joined the Congress on Saturday.
Chaudhary was formally inducted into the party at Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Raj Babbar’s residence here, sources said.
Haryanvi singer-dancer Sapna Chaudhary joins Congress to take on Hema Malini:
Speculation is rife that she could be fielded from Mathura to take on Bharatiya Janata Party’s Hema Malini.
Chaudhary later met Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the Congress general secretary in charge of east Uttar Pradesh.
Choudhary, who wants to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Mathura against Hema Malini of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), met Congress General Secretary Jyotiraditya Scindia before joining the party.
Mathura has a dominant Jat presence and Choudhary hails from the same background. Sources in the Congress said she is the perfect candidate for the prestigious seat and can give a tough contest to Hema Malini.
