BJP best option for UP, not weak SP or BSP

New Delhi [India], Oct. 26 : The president of the Uttar Pradesh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Keshav Prasad Maurya, on Wednesday said both the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) are politically weaker than the BJP, and if the elections take place today, they would suffer crushing defeats.

"I believe that both the SP and the BSP are weaker than the BJP and a delay in the election is only harming the state. Neither the SP nor the BSP cares for the state; they have only plundered it after coming to power, which the people of the state understand very well. If elections take place today, then both the SP and the BSP will be defeated badly," Maurya told ANI.

Kanagana Ranaut recently appeared on Neha Dhupia's show #NoFilterNeha and like always was at her candid best. When asked to present an award for the Best 'Thank God they have famous parents or they'd be nowhere', she immediately responded, "Hrithik Roshan, you know it's true!!"

The world knows what happened when she gave a tongue-in-cheek response related to Duggu Roshan a few months back. We are just wondering what the actor has to say to this!

And that's not it. The versatile actor did not spare Priyanka Chopra as well. According to Miss. Ranaut, our Desi Girl should be presented with an award for the most fake laugh.

Well, mincing her words is not Kangana's cup of tea.
