Mumbai: Riding high on political dreams Mumbai’s out-of-job bar girls are all set to form their political party to contest BMC elections. And if that was not enough, hear this: they expect Bollywood big wigs (Mahesh Bhatt and Javed Akhtar to name a few) to campaign for their win.

In fact Mumbai’s bar dancers are all out promising social welfare—water, roads, health, housing, fighting corruption—in true neta style.

"Our candidates will be bars dancers and we expect support from the entertainment industry. In case no bar girl fits the bill, we will make bar owners stand in the election. The party will be comprised of only the bar dancers and bar owners, no outsider will be allowed in it," President of bar owners' association Manjit Singh Sethi told CNN-IBN.

The party will call on the city's most famous bar girls—names like Tarannum—to pitch its cause. Film celebrities like Mahesh Bhatt and Javed Akhtar might also campaign for the new party, along with 75,000 bar girls and their family members.

"I want to do welfare for the society. We are not fighting elections to benefit only the bar owners and bar girls but for everyone in Mumbai," bar girl Chandni Khan said.

The new party aims to win at least 25 seats in the coming elections and if nothing else, raise the bar for the community.
