Govinda's political comeback is confirmed as he joins hands with Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde, who extends a warm welcome to the Bollywood actor.

Amidst growing discontent among Shiv Sena leaders, especially led by Eknath Shinde, regarding BJP's choice of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Bollywood actor Govinda officially joined Shiv Sena on Thursday.

The actor's induction into Shiv Sena took place at Varsha bungalow in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Shinde, who warmly welcomed Govinda into the party. Shinde announced that Govinda would serve as a star campaigner for the party during the election campaign.

Expressing his gratitude towards CM Shinde, Govinda stated that he joined Shiv Sena with the aim of contributing to its progress. He emphasized his dedication to art, culture, and cinema and expressed readiness to undertake any role assigned by the party.

While there were rumors about Govinda contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Mumbai North West constituency on Shiv Sena's ticket, he clarified that the decision rests with CM Shinde. Shinde also mentioned that Govinda didn't set any conditions for joining the party; his admiration for the government's achievements and desire to support the film industry were the primary reasons.

Regarding Govinda's candidacy in the LS polls, Shinde noted that the actor has no immediate plans to participate. Govinda had previously contested in the 2004 LS elections from Mumbai North constituency as a Congress candidate and emerged victorious.
