Lucknow, Mar 16: Bollywood actor-turned-politician Sanjay Dutt has promised to work for the betterment of the people, if voted to power.

Addressing reporters after visiting a temple here, Dutt said that he would follow the footsteps of his father Sunil Dutt.

"Lucknow is my home, I will definitely work here. I am the son of Sunil and Nargis Dutt and I would work like my parents," said Sanjay.

However, Dutt''s nomination hinges on the Election Commission''s decision to let him contest since he has been convicted to a jail term of six years in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case.

The SP and Congress have at present agreed to a loose seat-sharing deal on majority of seats in Uttar Pradesh.

In Uttar Pradesh, the SP and Congress will be facing the BSP and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). (ANI)
