"All my years in movies - all the hard work, tough outdoor schedules, long hours have all helped me in my new avatar as politician," Malini posted on Twitter.
"I want to do so much for Mathura - I want to set up self help groups for the women here so that they become independent. I want the women to spend their time wisely and earn money for themselves," she tweeted.
"I will be able to do all this only if I get elected! I plan to set up vocational training centres in the villages of Mathura where women can learn things," Malini said.
