Mandya, Apr 24: Actor-cum-politician M A Ambareesh, who was asked by Congress to contest from Mandya constituency, announced his retirement from electoral politics, on Tuesday, the last day to file nomination papers for May 12 Karnataka assembly polls. 

I am growing old. I don’t want to contest the elections. Let the party field anybody from Mandya constituency,” the 66-year old leader told reporters. The Congress had given him the ticket to contest from Mandya. But he had not collected the 'B' form from the party.

The “rebel star’’ said he cannot campaign in the election because of ill health. “I cannot do justice to people of the constituency even if I am elected. Hence, the decision to retire from the electoral politics,” he stated.

The Congress leader took exception to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah contesting from two constituencies, saying that it sends out a wrong message. “He (Siddaramaiah) had been saying that he will contest from Chamundeshwari. And he should have stuck to his stand. Losing and winning are common in politics. A leader has to fight,” he added.

Shocked by the news of Susheel Gowda's death, Duniya Vijay wrote on Facebook (translated), "When I first saw him I thought he is a hero material. Even before the movie got released he has left us too soon. Whatever may be the problem suicide is not the answer. I think the series of deaths will not end this year. It is not only because of Coronavirus people fear, people are losing faith because they don’t have job which can give them the money to lead a life. It is high time to stay stronger to overcome the crisis."

Susheel Gowda has played the role of a cop in the upcoming film Salaga. It stars Duniya Vijay in the leading role.

Susheel's co-star Amita Ranganath said, "I got the news from my friend. I still can’t believe that he is no more. He was such a sweet and soft hearted person who never loses his cool. It’s been very sad to know that he has left us so early. He had the talent to achieve more in the entertainment industry.” 

Director of the serial Anthpura, Aravind Koushik on his face book page posted "Sad news I heard . Susheel Gowda who played the lead in the tv serial Antahpura that I directed is no more . Rest in Peace."

She also shared a picture with Susheel on her Instagram story and expressed her grief.
