Govinda forgets Shiv Sena candidate name amidst his campaign in Maharashtra
With the Lok Sabha Polls just in the corner, actor Govinda while on his road show campaigning for Shiv Sena candidate Shrirang Barne in Maharashtra’s Maval Lok Sabha constituency on Sunday, in Pimpri-Chinchwad, he forgot name of the candidate.
It is learnt that after uttering ‘respected’, the actor blanked on the name of the candidate and turned to BJP leader Uma Khapre, seated beside him, for assistance.
Upon being reminded of the name, Govinda mentioned Shrirang Barne and proceeded to address the media.
Later, Govinda led a roadshow for Barne in Pimpri-Chinchwad.
Maval Lok Sabha constituency will go to the polls on May 13 in Phase 4 of the Lok Sabha election.
In March, Govinda joined Shiv Sena, saying that the clean aura of Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena inspired him to join the party.
However, Shiv Sena (UBT) had said that there was no point in Govinda joining any party as he had no connection with the public while being an MP from North Mumbai from 2004 to 2009.
In 2004, Govind contested Lok Sabha election from Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat on Congress ticket and defeated veteran BJP leader Ram Naik. However, he later resigned from the Congress party.
“Govinda stands for progress. He is impressed with Modiji’s development policies. He wants to do something for the welfare and progress of the film industry. He is for sure he will be the link between the government and the film industry. CM.Eknath Shinde asserted that Govinda has joined the party without any condition.
