Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt on Sunday launched the poll campaign for his sister and Congress nominee in the Mumbai North-West parliamentary by poll, Priya Dutt with much fanfare despite opposition BJP-Sena threat to protest his campaigning for his alleged role in 1993 Mumbai blasts.

The actor toured several areas of the four legislative assembly constituencies that constitute the parliamentary constituency, in a motorcade.

He is also slated to hold three public meetings, in which Bollywood personalities like actor Govinda, M.P., Shabana Azmi, and MPCC president Prabha Rau are expected to join him later in the evening, sources said.

Sanjay Dutt along with his sister started his campaign from suburban Bandra, where he held small-corner public meetings at seven places, including BMC Colony, Shanti Nagar etc, they said.

Later in the evening, he is slated to address a public meeting at Vile Parle in western Mumbai, where he will be joined by Rau and Shabana Azmi. While at another public meeting in northern suburb Jogeshwari, Sanjay Dutt will be joined by actor-turned politician Govinda.

“My father has done a lot of work for you. I have come here to ask his right, and vote to my sister,” Sanjay Dutt said addressing a public rally at BMC Colony.

“My sister too knows this constituency well and I assure you that she will also work for you as my father did.”

“Boletokya, behenkoapnevotekarneka,” (what to talk vote for my sister) Sanjay said presenting the dialogue from his super hit film `Munnabhai MBBS’.
