Congress ropes in Azharuddin, Roma Manek for Khadia campaign

On last day of campaign for 14th February Khadia assembly byelection, Gujarat Congress roped in former Cricketer and Lok Sabha MP Mohammad Azharuddin for a road show in Muslim dominated Raikhad/Jamalpur area. Congress party also organized a road show in Hindu dominated core Khadia area with Gujarati film actress Roma Manek.

Azhruddin was relieved from Indian cricket for his involvement in cricket batting scandal. After long hibernation, Congress party made him candidate in Muslim dominated area of Uttar Pradesh and brought to Lok Sabha.

Roma Manek is Gujarat heroine of late 90s. She doesn’t get much films due to overweight nowadays.

On the other side, BJP also organized saffron rally joined by hundreds of party workers and local citizens with their two-wheelers.
