Bollywood actor Govinda Ahuja joined Shiv Sena on Thursday in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

Speaking on the occasion, Govinda said he was joining Shiv Sena on the occasion of Shiv Jayanti and expressed his feelings, saying his 14-year exile was over.

"I was in politics from 2004 to early 2009. After coming out, I thought that I might not be seen in politics again. After 14 years of exile from 2010 to 2024, I am back, and I will fulfil my responsibility honestly.," he said.

Chief Minister Shinde said that Govinda joined Shiv Sena without any condition. He will act as a link between the government and the film industry.

Govinda had contested the 2004 Lok Sabha election from Mumbai North constituency and emerged as a giant killer by humbling BJP stalwart Ram Naik. He later quit politics saying he would never return in the poliitcal arena. (UNI)<>
