NEW DELHI: Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, denied permission to contest elections by the Supreme Court, was on Thursday appointed the national general secretary of the Samajwadi Party.
"Our leader Mulayam Singh Yadav has appointed him (Sanjay) as the national general secretary," SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav told reporters here.
He said Sanjay will campaign for SP candidates in the Lok Sabha elections.
“Mein dil se kam karoonga aur sach ke liye kam karoonga (I will work with my heart and for the truth)," said Dutt, who was also present at the party’s central office here.
The actor, who was the SP candidate for the prestigious Lucknow Lok Sabha seat, was denied permission to contest polls by the Supreme Court which refused to stay his conviction in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts case.
The SP is yet to decide on a fresh candidate for the Lucknow seat, which is at present represented by BJP leader and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Recently, Mulayam Singh had appointed former BJP leader Kalyan Singh's son Rajveer as the national general secretary of the party.
