Actor and BJP MP from Mathura, Hema Malini recently launched her poll campaign in Uttar Pradesh, where she was seen holding a sickle, helping women with wheat bundles in a farm. Hema Malini has been targeted on social media over the visit. Two photographs have been placed together to show how the BJP MP had supposedly arrived in a helicopter ahead of her photo-op in the wheat field.<\/p>\n
