Govinda Joins Shiv Sena, Named Star Campaigner

Amid growing uneasiness within Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena leaders over the candidates being announced by the BJP for the Lok Sabha elections, Bollywood actor Govinda has joined the party. Govinda joined Shiv Sena at Varsha Bungalow in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Shinde, who welcomed the actor and former MP from Mumbai North seat into the party. Shinde said that Govinda will be the star campaigner of the party.

Govinda thanked CM Shinde and said that he has joined the party for development as he wants to work for art, culture, and cinema and will accept whatever responsibility the party gives him.

Govinda will contest elections from this seat

Although there is speculation that Govinda may contest the Lok Sabha elections from Mumbai North West Lok Sabha seat on the Shiv Sena ticket, Govinda said, "CM Shinde will decide on contesting the Lok Sabha elections." Shinde said that Govinda has not set any conditions for joining the army and he has joined only after being impressed by the work of the government and wants to work for the development of the film industry.
