Hazaribag (Jharkhand), Apr 17: Film star Dharamendra has said that he is discharging his 'dharam' (duty) by supporting the BJP which has no alternative in the country. "The BJP-led dispensation is the best ever the nation has had, and it is my dharam and doing justice to my name by supporting the party which has no alternative," Dharmendra told an election meeting here last night.

Expressing happiness over the huge turn out to hear him, he said ''your love and affection are my bank balance. I will be happier if you lend the same support to BJP candidate Yashwant Sinha who have done a good work both at home and abroad.''
Urging the electorate to help Sinha achieve his hattrick win in the Lok Sabha elections, he said as a Foreign Minister Sinha had been brilliant.

Sinha's luck would be decided in the first phase of elections on April 20. He is locked in a straight contest with opposition backed CPI candidate Bhubaneswar Prasad Mehta.
