As the election fever heats up, the political parties are wooing Bollywood to garner votes. According to reports, the Madhya Pradesh Congress has requested Bollywood megastar Salman Khan to breach the BJP's Indore citadel in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls.

The actor was born in Indore's Palasia area in 1965 and has spent a substantial part of his childhood in that city before moving to Mumbai.

“Our leaders have already talked to Salman Khan to campaign for us in Indore. We are sure the actor would oblige,” MP Congress spokesperson Pankaj Chaturvedi had said. Reacting to this, Salman tweeted saying, “Contrary to the rumours I am not contesting elections nor campaigning for any political party.”

The actor had earlier campaigned and participated in a road show for the Congress’ Indore mayoral candidate Pankaj Sanghavi in 2009.
