Texan Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 innocent? Supposedly a Malyalam actor. I had no idea about him either until I read a news report that he is contesting election. Great name to have for a politician :cantstop:
Texan Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Isn't Dharmendra contesting too ? No. He contested in the past from Bikaner (Rajasthan). I don't think he has got a ticket for this election.
gaurav92 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 No. He contested in the past from Bikaner (Rajasthan). I don't think he has got a ticket for this election. Yup my place :). Sad he is not contesting it this time :(
Lord Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Yup my place :). Sad he is not contesting it this time :( did he do a good job?:hmmm:
The Outsider Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Shatrughan Sinha and Jaya Prada have been in politics for a while now.
gaurav92 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 did he do a good job?:hmmm: Have not been there for quite some time now, but all people there have been praising his work :nice:
Sachin=GOD Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 did he do a good job?:hmmm: Have not been there for quite some time now' date=' but all people there have been praising his work :nice:[/quote'] from what I heard/read he has done nothing at all. In fact he rarely went there.
Texan Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Kamaal R Khan is being fielded from Mumbai North West against Gurunath Kamat (sitting Congress MP), Gajanan Kirtikar (SS), Mayank Gandhi (AAP) and Mahesh Manjrekar (MNS). Surely, he's going to lose his deposit.
urbestfriend Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Paresh rawal a good choice .... Yeah..Need some comedy break in the parliament amidst all the shootings etc :giggle: He is a great actor.
Detonator Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 JK Ritheesh ? :hmmm: He is an interesting variation. He is a MP turned actor as opposed to many actors turned candidates.
gaurav92 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 from what I heard/read he has done nothing at all. In fact he rarely went there. Will have to go there to see what he has done. People seems to be happy with whatever he has done :dontknow:
velu Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 JK Ritheesh ? :hmmm: He is an interesting variation. He is a MP turned actor as opposed to many actors turned candidates. chicken biriyani + 100rs for watching his movie :cantstop: dont think he is contesting now .. he is alagiri fan
Texan Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 Vinod Khanna will be contesting on a BJP ticket from Gurdaspur. He has contested from that seat in the past too.
