Cops raid Jaya Prada’s hotel

Samajwadi Party’s Rampur candidate Jaya Prada’s
hotel room was raided by the police late on Monday night. Her supporters allege
that it was another attempt to malign Jaya Prada. Rampur goes to polls on
Wednesday and the constituency has been witnessing a bitter battle between the
party General Secretary Amar Singh and Azam Khan camps. Jaya Prada had on Monday
accused Azam Khan of distributing her fake nude posters. In an exclusive
interview to CNN-IBN she also said that she had contemplated committing suicide.
“I thought of it the moment I came to know that this is the only meaning of
woman, because I don’t have a background of politics, because I am individual
(sic).

Whatever I have achieved is by myself, I have earned
so much of fame and people love me so much, this is the reason some people are
feeling jealous,” said Jaya Prada.It is very unethical (that these) things are
happening. We talk about women’s respect in society and I don’t think any
respectful woman can come into this kind of politics because one cannot stoop to
such levels. If they wanted to fight let us face the battle - I am ready to face
it. I requested Azam Khan saab that if he wanted to contest from Rampur, I was
ready to leave and I was ready to support him by giving campaigning for him.

But he rejected (and said) he didn’t want to
contest. Then why should I leave it to someone else? For five years I have done
so much work,” she added.
