Entertainment Desk: Actor Rezaul Raju is going to participate in the upcoming Shilpi Sangha election as a candidate. Rezaul Raju has bought nomination papers for the post of executive member of the Abhinaya Shilpi Sangha, an organization of television drama actors, to be held on January 26. Raju himself has confirmed this information to the journalists.

Asked about his reasons for participating in the elections, Rezaul said, "I have held elections before." I hope I can gift some new work if I pass. I used to be a regular performer and will still be. I have no problem working. If I am elected a member of the Artists` Association, I think it will be easier for me to provide all the facilities to the artists. With the aim of working for the Association of Performing Artists, I have become a candidate in this election with the encouragement of my fellow artists, journalist brothers and well-wishers.
