Bangalore, Mar 21: Kannada film actor Rakshita joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday in the presence of senior leaders.

Ms Rakshita, who was president of the women 's wing of the BSR Congress, had recently joined the Janata Dal (Secular) after the former denied her ticket to contest the Assembly election. She was upset with the JD(S) too as it allegedly ignored her plea for ticket for the Mandya Lok Sabha seat.

Ms Rakshita said she was joining the BJP to do her bit to help Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi become the Prime Minister.

In an obvious reference to her frequent party-hopping, she said, “I am still a baby in politics. I appeal to the people to pardon me for whatever I have done.”

“People have begun asking me how long will I remain with the BJP... I know I have made some mistakes... but this time I will stay put, campaign for the BJP and serve the people,” she said

Her husband and film director Prem who accompanied her, said he was not joining the BJP but would provide full support to his wife. He is from Mandya.

Bengaluru, Feb 5: New Tulu movie Pingara has bagged the NETPAC International Jury Award at the 12th edition of Bengaluru International Film Festial (BIFFes) on Wednesday.

Written and directed by Preetham R Shetty, the movie revolves around people who worship daivas (spirits) of Tulu Nadu.

The narrative goes back and forth in time, to tell the story of a family to Sinchana (Chaitanya Chandramohan), a journalist from Bengaluru who visits a village in Tulu Nadu to ‘write on Tulu culture.’

The film speaks about the caste system in Tulu Nadu and the struggle for land in the post-independence period.
