Congress is planning to add a glamour quotient in the capital's electoral scene by roping in Bollywood superstar and party 'sympathiser' Shah Rukh Khan to campaign for its candidates.
This will be besides its star campaigners party chief Sonia Gandhi, prime minister Manmohan Singh and AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi.
"Obviously, we will request Shah Rukh to campaign for our candidates in the capital," Oscar Fernandes, AICC in-charge for Delhi, said.
He was responding to a question whether the Congress will bring 'King Khan', who hails from the capital, for campaigning. Khan and another Bollywood star Preity Zinta are expected to campaign for Minister of State for Home affairs Sriprakash Jaiswal, the Congress candidate from Kanpur.
"People like Bollywood stars to campaign. There are a number of actors who are our sympathisers. We will utilise their services," Fernandes said without naming other actors
who may join the campaigning for the party in the capital.
Asked whether the BJP was playing the 'Hindu card' in the elections, he said it was "nothing new" and accused the saffron party of indulging in "negative politics".
"You saw the results of the last Delhi Assembly polls. BJP was routed in the elections. We raised positive issues and development," Fernandes said.
DPCC chief Jaiprakash Aggarwal said the workers expect the prime minister, Sonia and Rahul to campaign in the coming elections. "They are our star campaigners and we hope they will campaign here," he said.
When pointed out that Congress has not given ticket to any Sikh, Aggarwal said, "Every caste and community cannot be given ticket but his party is working for the welfare for
all."
He also dismissed suggestions that giving tickets to Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler, whom Sikh organisations allege were involved in anti-Sikh riots, will alienate Sikh
voters.
"They are working for the party for the past 30 years and are senior leaders," he said.
Aggarwal said the party will go to the campaign highlighting the work done by the UPA government.
