Sridevi & South attraction in North Politics

 With celebrities campaigning for parties during election times is a common thing along with the media hype which adds to the glamour quotient. South Indian actresses have always ruled the roost in Hindi films and also went to have successful political careers like Vyjayanthimala Bali who became an MP, Rekha who was nominated to the Rajya sabha, Jaya Prada who has been the Rampur ka beti and now is contesting from Bijnore Lok Sabha constituency the from Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) ,Nagma who has joined the Congress and is contesting from Meerut and now with Hema Malini contesting from Mathura all shows the kind of hold Southern stars have in elections and campaigns in the Northern states.

The latest to join the star campaigners is our Padmasri Sridevi who along with her husband Boney Kapoor on Tuesday campaigned for Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) candidate Amar Singh in Fatehpur Sikri in Uttar Pradesh. Needless to say she was a crowd puller and has caused enough chaos and jams in the small city with her posing with dressed in a sari with cheques in it, she was definitely the right choice to bring in the crowds unlike Amar Singhs now frail personality. Wonder how much she was paid for this also? Meanwhile our beautiful Basanti is going through a grueling campaign which was evident with her trying her hand at the water pump which was quite a tough task for the lady but she pulled it off. Jaya Prada meanwhile is facing troubling as she was charged for violating model code of conduct yesterday for holding a public meeting without seeking permission from the district administration in Muzzafarnager.

No matter what it’s these bevy of South beauties who have pulled the crowds and are the cynosure of people’s eyes when it comes to political campaigns up North.
