On August 26, Sanjay Dutt denied state animal husbandry and dairy development minister Mahadev Jankar's claim that the actor is joining his party, Rashtriya Samaj Paksh (RSP), on September 25. Dutt, who earlier dabbled in politics as part of the Samajwadi Party, in a statement to media said, "I am not joining any political party. Mr Jankar is a dear friend and like a brother. I wish him luck for his future endeavours."
Earlier Mahadev Jankar had said, "We have started working in the film sector as well to expand our party. As part of which, actor Sanjay Dutt is also joining the Rashtriya Samaj Paksh on September 25." Which Sanjay Dutt has denied. On his stint with politics, the actor was a Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate from the Lucknow Lok Sabha constituency in 2009 but withdrew after the court refused to suspend his conviction under the Arms Act. He was later appointed as general secretary but resigned and eventually left the party.
