In a surprising turn of events, Tollywood superstar Dev has made a return to the political arena, despite his recent announcement expressing a desire to step down. The upcoming Lok Sabha 2024 election will see Dev competing in his former constituency, Ghatal. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee unveiled the complete list of candidates for the forthcoming election on Sunday at the Brigade Ground march, confirming Dev’s candidacy for Ghatal.
The competition for Ghatal’s seat is expected to intensify, given Dev’s opponent in this electoral bout. Hiran, once a Tollywood actor and now an experienced politician representing a national party, is set to challenge Dev for the same seat.
Amidst speculation a few weeks ago suggesting Dev’s potential exit from politics to focus more on his acting and film production endeavors, it became evident during a recent meeting with key figures that politics wasn’t ready to release its grip on the actor-turned-politician. These speculations were confirmed on Sunday, marking Dev’s return to the political forefront.
In a noteworthy electoral showdown, Dev will now face off against Hiran in the race for Ghatal.
