Popular Kannada film star, Kichcha Sudeep came out in support of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday to offer a campaign for him in the Karnataka elections.
Bommai praised the actor by saying that, Sudeep’s support gives strength to BJP’s campaign efforts in the poll-bound state.
The election polls are scheduled to be held on the 10th of May and the result will be announced on May 13.
The actor clarified the fact that he will not join any political party. He will only campaign for Bhartiya Janta Party and not contest any assembly polls. Though, he owed the CM a debt of gratitude, having known him since childhood. Sudeep also told that he will not charge any fee for campaigning. He also said that he would campaign only for his assigned seats and within his human limitations.
RJ Surjewala, the congress leader criticized the BJP, saying that the BJP is relying on film stars for support. He said this because no one was listening to the Chief Minister. “People, not film stars, will decide the fate of Karnataka”, he tweeted.
The rumor that the actor is joining BJP is being circulated on social media before he made the announcement of not joining any political party. Rather, he said that he would support those who stood by him in his times of difficulty.
The minister added that the inclusion of artists and several leaders in Karnataka elections from other parties will work towards strengthening the political party.
