Lucknow, Mar 2 : Bollywood star and the Samajwadi Party candidate from Lucknow Sanjay Dutt will meet party workers to formulate a strategy for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and interact with various sections of the public.

Dutt will also visit a house in the congested Aminabad locality where his father Sunil Dutt lived for nearly four years till 1951, while he worked with All India Radio.
“Dutt will meet Samajwadi Party activists at the party state headquarters,” said party spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary.

He will also meet members of the minority community in Aminabad and interact with prominent doctors of the city later in the day.

It is still not clear whether Sanjay Dutt will in fact be allowed to contest elections since he is on bail at the moment. SP leader Amar Singh said that if Dutt is not allowed, they will request his wife Manyata to stand from the Lucknow seat.

Both Sanjay and Manyata Dutt came under fire from women’s groups for their recent statements against women who retain their maiden surname after marriage.
