Hema Malini has been named as a contestant in the upcoming election from the Mathura constituency, and a lot of people have objected for the same saying that she is an ‘outsider’. However, after filing for the reports her papers for the April-May polls, Hema Malini called herself "a Gopi of Lord Krishna" and had said, "I have visited Mathura over 250 times." When asked if she was certain about winning elections, Hema Malini had stated, "There's a lot that I've done for Mathura, but a lot of my plans for the progress of the city are still in the pipeline. Brajshetra is not a small area. It is huge. It has nearly 1000 villages, and therefore, it is tough to please everyone. But I have done good things here. And people are very happy with me. I'm confident I'll win because I've done a good job. I don't remember much, but I have worked a lot."
When asked to comment on the Chowkidar aka Narendra Modi being trolled for the Pulwama attacks, Hema Malini took his side and was quoted as saying, "Everybody is aware of the efforts PM Modi invested. The entire world knows what he has done for India. Five years haven't been enough to bring about enough development. Let opposition speak what they wish to. Our PM has worked selflessly. None of the previous PMs has been this selfless. I will continue to support him. This is the reason why I'm fighting from Mathura, again."
