TV Actress Chahat Pandey Joins AAP Ahead Of Madhya Pradesh Election This Year

She made her acting debut at the age of 17 in the soap opera ‘Pavitra Bandhan’.

New Delhi: Television actress Chahat Pandey, a resident of Madhya Pradesh's Damoh area, joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday, in the presence of the party's National Secretary, Sandeep Pathak, at the AAP headquarters in New Delhi.

She made her acting debut at the age of 17 in the soap opera ‘Pavitra Bandhan’. Later, Pandey appeared in several TV serials including 'Hamari Bahu Silk,' 'Durga – Mata Ki Chhaya' and 'Nath – Zewar Ya Zanjeer.'

Pandey comes from the state where AAP is seeking to expand its footprints. Notably, the election in Madhya Pradesh is scheduled to take place later this year.

On June 27, Prime Minister Modi conducted a rally in Bhopal, sounding the electoral bugle in the state.

Addressing a rally in Bhopal, PM Modi said, "The word ‘guarantee’ often comes up these days. All these parties are a guarantee of corruption and scams worth crores. A few days ago, a 'photo op' was organised by them (Opposition). All those seen in the photo are a guarantee of a scam worth Rs 20 lakh crore. Congress alone is involved in scams worth lakhs of crores.”

The AAP, which had earlier announced it would contest all 230 Assembly seats in MP, is buoyed by its performance in the urban local body polls in July-August last year, where it claimed it had garnered 6.3 per cent of the vote share. It had fielded 1,500 candidates for local body polls and the party managed to win the mayor's post in Singrauli in the state's Vindh region.

The 2018 elections in Madhya Pradesh threw up a hung Assembly, with the Congress emerging as the largest party with 114 seats in the 230-member House. The BJP won 109 seats.

The Congress formed a coalition government under Kamal Nath, but it fell in March 2020 after several MLAs loyal to Jyotiraditya Scindia walked out and joined the BJP, paving the way for Shivraj Singh Chouhan to return as chief minister.
