Salman Khan can be heard saying “Jo best man hai aapke constituency ke andar, aap uske liye vote kijiye”( You should vote for the best man from your constituency). Salman continues “Aapke liye best man kaun hai yahan” (Who is the best man for you here). The crowd screams “Modi”. Salman further says “Aapke liye yahan best man Modi hain, Meri jo constituency hai Bandra, wahan par best man hai Baba Siddique aur Priya Dutt” (For you Modi is the best man here, but for my constituency Banda best man is Baba Siddique and Priya Dutt).
