Haryanvi singer Sapna Chaudhary is likely to campaign for the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections even though she might not join the party for now, sources told PTI on Monday, 1 April.
Chaudhary met the Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari, earlier on 31 March, and the duo reportedly discussed about the constituencies where she would campaign.
The former Bigg Boss contestant is likely to campaign in constituencies where there are a sizeable number of Jat and Purvanchali voters and in rural pockets of northeast, northwest Delhi, south and west parliamentary constituencies, sources said, adding that she will herself make the announcement.
Chaudhary had met Tiwari earlier as well triggering speculations about her joining the BJP but sources confirmed that she is not joining the party now, but will be a key part of its campaign.
Earlier in March, UP Congress Chief Raj Babbar tweeted a picture of Chaudhary with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, welcoming her to the party. However, the singer had denied, saying the picture was old.
“Tiwari managed to convince her that she would lose on a Congress ticket. And that ideologically, she had more in common with the BJP,” a source told The Indian Express.
Delhi will vote on 12 May and the overall results will be declared on 23 May.
