Film actress and socialite Nafisa Ali is the Samajwadi Party candidate for the Lucknow Lok Sabha seat.
Nafisa's name was announced by party general secretary Amar Singh at a press conference.
Nafisa's name was proposed after the Supreme Court denied permission to Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt to fight the Lok Sabha polls from Lucknow on the Samajwadi Party ticket. Dutt, who is out on bail, was served a six year jail sentence by a Mumbai court for possession of illegal arms during the 1993 Mumbai riots. |
