<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br />NEW DELHI: She is voting for the first time and would like to tell you the best way to do it too. Gen Next is politically conscious, Miss India Nikita Anand informs with the wave of a manicured hand, casting her lot with the Congress.<br /></div> <div align="left" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="left" border="1" width="32.1%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/583219.cms" alt="/photo/583219.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal">Miss India Nikita Anand </div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="">No, the 20-year-old is not another beauty queen joining politics.Not yet anyway.

She will not fall into the Vajpayee trap that many celebrities with the Congress are doing nowadays. </span><br /><br /><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="">Asked what she thinks about Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Nikita simply says: "He''s our Prime Minister." After some goading: "I respect him." Others move in – Is the BJP communal? But Nikita has got their measure. ''Rather than talk about the negatives of others, I''d like to highlight the positives of the Congress."</span><br /><br /><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="">And Sonia Gandhi''s foreign origin doesn''t really matter. "The simple fact is that she thinks Indian." Clearly, Nikita has grown up in the 20 minutes she has been in a political environment. </span></div> <div align="left" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="left" border="1" width="35.6%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:=""> <div class="Normal"><span style="" color:="" ffffff="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="">MORE STORIES</span></div> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" e6e6e6=""> <div class="Normal"><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold=""><a href="http://www.thetimesofindia.online/articleshow/582360.cms">Sanjay Dutt won''t campaign for father</a></span><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold=""></span><br /><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold=""><a href="http://www.thetimesofindia.online/articleshow/574784.cms">Hero No 1 makes formal entry in Cong</a></span><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold=""></span><br /><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold=""><a href="http://www.thetimesofindia.online/articleshow/540143.cms">Cong unleashes Asrani, Zeenat, Celina...</a></span></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><br /><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="">There is USP here.
