Wednesday, February 18, 2009


New Delhi: In Lucknow, Sanjay Dutt's political journey is taking him down memory lane. After a road show with wife Manyata, Dutt - the Samajwadi Party candidate for Lucknow - will tour the constituency all day on Wednesday.
Apart from meetings with senior party leaders, including Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh and State President Shivpal Singh Yadav, Sanjay Dutt will specifically visit a house in Aminabad, in Ganne Wali Gali, where his father Sunil Dutt once lived. Sunil Dutt is said to have spent four years between 1949 to 1952 in the house.

The landlord of Sunil Dutt's house, Inder Kaur remembers the late minister well. "He came here after formation of Pakistan. He loved Punjabi food. I will prepare what Sanjay Dutt desires when he comes here," she said. Sanjay Dutt is slated to meet prominent doctors of the city at the clinic of SP State Secretary Madhu Gupta later in the day.
"During his stay, Dutt will discuss strategy for the elections with senior party leaders including national general secretary Amar Singh and state president Shivpal Singh Yadav," party spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary was quoted by PTI as saying. This would be Dutt's second visit to the state capital after his candidature was announced by the SP. Earlier, the bollywood star accompanied by his wife Manyata, visited Lucknow on January 17 for a roadshow.
