Unnao (UP), Mar 29 (PTI) After Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, the Congress today roped in another Bollywood star Salman Khan to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections to boost the party's prospects in the crucial state.
Salman today arrived here in a helicopter from Lucknow to attend a "Holi Milan" function organised by Congress candidate for Unnao constituency Anu Tandon.
During the interaction with his fans, who flocked to see a glimpse of the actor, Salman asked them to vote according to their conscience.
Clad in a green T-shirt and jeans and sporting a ponytail, the cine star also sang songs from his film "Mujh Se Shadi Karogi" and "No Entry" to please the crowd and danced on the tune of Amitabh Bachhan's recital of Holi songs.
He also appealed to people to cast their vote on the day of polling. "This is the election season, therefore I would like to tell you that vote for the candidate who is willing to do something for you people selflessly," Salman said.
Though the actor refrained from making a direct comment in wake of the model code of conduct, he, while indicating towards Tandon, said that she was capable and willing to serve the people of Unnao.
Even as the crowd cheered, the actor told them "it feels good when you see every face gleaming with happiness. Work hard and enjoy life. A person cannot achieve anything without hard work. But please vote".
The actor is scheduled to take part in several party functions in the district. PTIu00a0
