Jaya joined BJP and will be contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Uttar Pradesh's Rampur constituency. The actess has contested from Rampur twice and has won both the times. But what's interesting to note is the fact that in 2004 she was helped by Azam Khan to win the seat and then in 2009 Khan left no stone unturned to ensure her defeat. Although his efforts went in vain, it was the begining the rivallary between the two prominent leaders.
