Item girl Rakhi Sawant is
contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha polls from the Mumbai North-West constituency
through her newly created Rashtriya Aam Party. She accused other candidates of
trying to woo away voters using unfair methods. She told the HT,
"Yesterday, they called me and threatened me that they will buy all the
voters within 48 hours. Then they threw a daaru (liquor) party, distributed
shirts-pants, chicken biryani and Rs. 1,000 notes to the poor… ab junta toh
bechari gareeb hai, toh maine unko bola, 'sabki daaru pee lo,
biryani kha lo aur pant pehen lo, magar mohar sirf mirchi pe
lagana' (Poor public, I asked them to accept and enjoy all that was
being offered to them by various such parties, but when it comes to voting,
they should vote for me."
