A day after joining the BJP, Haryanvi dancer and singer Sapna Choudhary on Monday said she had no interest in contesting elections but will obey her party's command.

Expressing her extreme antipathy against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Choudhary said she would rather quit than contesting election against the AAP chief as she "does not want to be near him or even see his face".

Addressing her maiden press conference after joining the saffron party, Choudhary said,"You should respect everyone irrespective of whether he is a rickshaw puller or a minister. Every one has the right to maintain their self respect," she said.

When asked if she was interested in contesting the Delhi Assembly polls early next year, she said,"Not at all. But, I will do exactly what the party asks me to do."
State media convener of the Delhi unit of the RSS, Rajiv Tuli had tweeted a photo of Chaudhary joining the BJP and said,"Quorum is complete Manoj Tiwari, Hansraj Hans and now Sapna Choudhary. Party with a difference Shivraj Chouan ji congratulations."
On being asked about BJP MLA from UP, Surendra Singh's controversial statement about her joining the Congress, she said "He is elder to me. I can not change his mentality. I have no grudge against him. You cannot tell a man of your father's age if he is right or wrong."
