‘Not Contesting Elections,’ Says Sanjay Dutt

New Delhi: Actor Sanjay Dutt on Monday said he is not joining any party or contesting elections and that if he ever decides to do so, he will be the first to announce it. “I would like to put all rumours about me joining politics to rest. I am not joining any party or contesting elections. If I do decide to step into the political arena then I will be the first one to announce it. Please refrain from believing what is being circulated in the news about me as of now,” Dutt said in a post on X today.

There was speculation that the 64-year-old actor would contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls as a Congress candidate from Haryana’s Karnal on a Congress ticket as a candidate against Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

The actor cleared the rumour by tweeting: “The rumour about me contesting for the Lok Sabha elections is not true. I stand with my country and in full support for my sister Priya Dutt. I urge everyone to come out in maximum numbers and cast their vote for our nation (sic).”
