Nafisa Ali rejoins Congress
Lucknow, Nov 5 (PTI)
Social activist Nafisa Ali has returned to the Congress fold, months after contesting the Lok Sabha elections on a Samajwadi Party ticket from Lucknow where she had replaced actor Sanjay Dutt.
52-year-old Nafisa, who is in the city, was seen campaigning alongside Congress state president Rita Bahuguna Joshi for party candidate from Lucknow (West) Assembly constituency, Shyam Kishore Shukla, for the byelections on November 7.
"Nafisa has joined Congress again. She was with the party earlier too," a senior party leader told PTI today.
The former Miss India had contested the parliamentary elections this year on an SP ticket, replacing Dutt, who was barred by the Supreme Court from contesting the polls.
