Bhubaneswar: Veteran Bollywood actress and senior BJP leader Hema Malini arrived in Bhubaneswar to hit the campaign trail for the simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly polls in Odisha.
Upon arrival, the veteran actress said, “Odisha will have a double-engine government. People of Odisha are deprived of the benefits of many central schemes. So, a change in govt is needed here.”
Hema Malini, the Lok Sabha MP from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, will campaign for BJP in the capital city here, Kishannagar area of Cuttack district and Pipli area of Puri district on May 17.
This would be the first visit of the veteran actress, popularly known by the sobriquet of ‘Dream Girl’, to Odisha to canvass for the BJP for the twin polls in the state.
