Rakhi Sawant Joins Republican Party of India

She didn’t do too well with her independent Rashtriya Aam Party in the recent elections, but that’s just a small dent in Bollywood actor Rakhi Sawant’s political aspirations. She joined the Republican Party of India (RPI) in the presence of party Chief Ramdas Athavale in Mumbai, India on June 28, 2014.

Rakhi said that her only focus even with this new party would be the same as it was before – to work for the poor and downtrodden. She referred to the failed previous election as a rehearsal and said she now had experience on her side.

Ramdas said that because Rakhi’s face was well-known in villages and cities alike, she would be a great help to their party in the elections. But it isn’t just her celebrity status that makes her a good candidate for the RPI, he cleared up, she is also heavily into social work and that combination is what drew the party to her.
