Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has now been barred from contesting elections. This news comes after the Supreme Court’s refusal to stay his conviction in a 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case. Sanjay Dutt was not surprised with the refusal but he made it clear that he will continue his role play in politics and he will campaign for the Samajwadi Party.

Film star said to the media today, “The decision was not suprising for me in the backdrop of strained relationship between the Congress and the Samajwadi party. I honour the court’s verdict, but I will not leave Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow and continue to campaign here for the SP candidate.”

Sanjay Dutt also told to the press that the decision on a new SP candidate from Lucknow would be taken very soon by the party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh. He added that they will take the decision after formal declartion of secular front (of Lalu Prasad Yadav, Ram Vilas Paswan and Mulayam Singh Yadav).

About Manyata, his wife, Dutt said regarding her contesting elections from Lucknow that the decision would be taken by party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh.

He also said that he is not going anywhere. He will stay there (Lucknow). Any candidate who will come will be his candidate.
