In an interview last month the item girl had said, "I have been virtually mobbed by people demanding that I should fight the election, so here I am."

Sawant had called on the Bharatiya Janata Party's top leadership in New Delhi and expressed her admiration for its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

"I was offered a BJP ticket from Srirampur in West Bengal. But I am from Mumbai and known Hindi and Marathi. I don't know the local language of West Bengal, so why should I stand from there" she said.

"Please give me one chance and see what I can do," the actress urged.

Sawant said she was leaving the film industry for the cause of the people and would take up cudgels for women for dignity and respect in society.

Sawant had also told reporters she would continue to act in films but no more "naach gaana", only good roles. She was tired of the "item girl" tag and needs a change.
