I Don’t Want To Be Hema Malini”: Akhilesh Yadav Ally’s Controversial Dig

Lucknow: 

Uttar Pradesh politician Jayant Chaudhary, the chief of the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), has controversially claimed that his party leader was told by senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, “I will make you Hema Malini if you join”.

Jayant Chaudhary, who has snubbed overtures made by the BJP more than once, made the comments while campaigning on Tuesday for the Uttar Pradesh election starting February 10.

Referring to his party leader on stage with him, Mr Chaudhary said: “Yogesh (Nauhwar) was saying he was told by Amit Shah — Yogesh, join us. I will make you Hema Malini.” His audience laughed and clapped at his reference to the actor-politician, who is a BJP MP from Mathura.
