Ambareesh Mandya  

Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy and Mandya MP Sumalatha thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for announcing Rs 2 lakh compensation to families of the victims who died in a bus accident in Mandya, on November 24.

 Sumalatha Ambareesh stood in a long queue and cast her vote at a polling booth in Doddarasinakere, Mandya. Hundreds of supporters were seen shouting slogans for the actress-turned-politician outside the polling booth

As Mandya goes to polls on April 18th, independent candidate Sumalatha Ambareesh was busy campaigning in the interior and most remote parts of Mysuru, Karnataka. She was teaching the voters the nitty-gritty of the EVMs as it has several contenders bearing her name. MyNation caught up with the lady and had a chat ahead of Lok Sabha election.

Sumalatha Ambareesh, the wife of late actor-politician Ambareesh, who is contesting from Mandya Lok Sabha constituency, has garnered support across Karnataka. A woman farmer named Jayashri Guran has travelled to Mandya to extend her support

While BJP-supported independent candidate Sumalatha was holding her rally in Mandya, Congress members were seen waving their party flags, enraging  their senior leaders

Mandya, the sugar bowl of Karnataka, is abuzz with political activity. While Darshan, a Sandalwood star and a supporter of Sumalatha took to the streets, a complaint was filed against Nikhil by a Mandya citizen, seeking to invalidate his candidacy, owing to inconsistency in filing his nomination

In a party campaign, JD(S) sitting MP from Mandya LR Shivarame Gowda said that Sumalatha Ambareesh was taking advantage of the sympathies that people of Mandya had towards her because of their love for her late husband Ambareesh

After Sumalatha announced her candidacy from Mandya as an independent candidate, the BJP fancies her chances of victory. Political pundits feel that her entry might stymie the chances of the JD(S). However, the JD(S) sounds confident.

 

Sumalatha, the wife of late Ambareesh has been camping in Mandya, talking to people and trying to understand their problems. Meanwhile, DC Tammanna, a JD(S) leader took a jibe at her saying she was very discourteous to guests, who visited her.   
 

Sumalatha Ambareesh is meeting the people of Mandya, despite Congress hinting that it cannot give her a ticket to contest from the constituency. This has given wings to speculation that she might contest as an independent candidate.

Two veteran Congressmen Ambareesh and Jaffer Sharief died on November 24 and 25 respectively. Who will fill in their shoes with 2019 polls fast nearing?

Actor-politician Ambareesh passed away on Saturday night at Vikram Hospital in Bengaluru. The last rites will be performed at Kanteerava Studio on Monday with state honours

Actor, politician Ambareesh breathed his last at Vikram Hospital in Bengaluru on November 24. The 66-year-old actor was suffering from respiratory problems.
