Congress is preparing to play the celebrity card against former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on the Karnal Lok Sabha seat of Haryana. Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt can contest Lok Sabha elections from here. Rejecting the names included in the Congress panel, the party's top leadership is considering fielding film actor Sanjay Dutt against Manohar Lal in Karnal.
In the meeting of the Central Election Committee (CEC) of the Congress, in the presence of Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and KC Venugopal, Sanjay Dutt's name was discussed on the Karnal seat, but the final decision was taken only after discussion with him. State level leader of the party will be taken. Actor Sanjay Dutt's father Sunil Dutt was a minister in the government of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, while sister Priya Dutt has been an MP.
Sunil Dutt and Sanjay Dutt's ancestral home is Mandauli village in Yamunanagar district, where their family keeps visiting even today. Congress is already considering film actor Raj Babbar's name for the Gurugram Lok Sabha seat.
