Voters ask about govinda's whereabouts

Mumbai, Jan 15 (UNI) Bollywood actor and Congress MP Govinda is a ''much wanted person''.

Voters are very concerned because of Govinda's continued absence from his constituency.

Maharashtra Minorities Front, a local organisation, has even put up around 100O banners bearing the actor-turned-politician's photograph in all parts of his constituency. The banners urge the people to inform the Front about ''Mr Govinda's whereabouts''.

A prize money of Rs one crore has been announced to the person who can divulge the information.

''We are desparately looking for Govinda Ahuja,'' says Front chairman Farooque Azam. ''We had earlier declared an award of Rs 51 lakh to the person who could bring Govinda back to his constituency.

But, this did not evoke any response. We have, therefore, raised the reward money to Rs one crore,'' Mr Azam says.

Mr Azam claimed he had written to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee seeking their help to trace Govinda.
