The keenly watched political move of Independent MP Sumalatha Ambareesh, which could impact the equations in Mandya, will be announced on April 3.
“I will announce my decision on April 3 at a public meeting in Mandya after consulting with my well-wishers,” Ms. Sumalatha told presspersons here after addressing leaders and followers from Mandya who had gathered at her residence on Saturday. The actor-turned-politician is miffed over being denied the ticket from Mandya from the BJP. The seat has gone the way of the BJP’s ally JD(S), which has fielded the former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy from the Vokkaliga heartland.
Earlier, addressing the gathering, Ms. Sumalatha, who defeated Nikhil Kumaraswamy in a high-pitched and hard-fought battle in 2019, thanked people of Mandya for supporting her.
