I want to become CM of Karnataka, says actor-cum-politician Ambareesh

Mandya MLA M H Ambareesh, who was dropped from the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led cabinet of ministers a couple of years ago over inefficiency, now has expressed his desire to become the chief minister of Karnataka.

Speaking to media persons in Bengaluru on Saturday, the actor-turned-politician revealed that he had been nursing a chief ministerial dream for the last 15 years. 

"I have been a chief minister candidate for 15 years and I will not say no if the opportunity comes my way. But it's good not to have expectations, because you get hurt when they get dashed," Ambareesh said.

The former minister said there was no question of him contesting from any other constituency than his home turf Mandya. "The people of Mandya helped me win by 42,000 votes. Can I run away? If I do, I'll be called a coward," he said.

Ambareesh welcomed the Supreme Court verdict on the sharing of the Cauvery river waters. "It is after many years there's a verdict that is in our favour," he said.

"The verdict has given Karnataka some breathing space and farmers in our region are happy to some extent."

Ambareesh said he and his actor-wife Sumalatha would offer 'bagina' to the Cauvery at the KRS dam on Monday.

On Superstar Rajinikanth calling the verdict "very disappointing," Ambareesh said: "I'm friends with everybody. Linking of rivers is a good thing and (Rajinikanth) also said the same thing."

Bellari, Feb 23: Fringe outfit Sri Ram Sena leader Sanjeev Maradi said on Friday said that organization will reward Rs 10 lakh to the person who will 'eliminate' those who have raised "pro-Pakistan" slogans including Amulya who recently raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogan at an anti-CAA protest in Bengaluru.

"We request both state and central government not to release them (Pro-Pakistan sloganeers) on bail. If they will be released Sri Ram Sena will eliminate them or will give a reward of Rupees 10 lakh to those who kill them," said Sanjeev Maradi.

"We condemn such slogans. This is like a virus. First, it happened in Jammu and Kashmir, then in JNU, then Mysore and then a student named Amulya raised pro Pakistan slogan in Bengaluru," he added.

A girl named Amulya raised 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogan on Thursday at an anti-CAA protest where AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi was also invited.

Thereafter, a case was registered under Section 124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against the student.

Meanwhile, Imran Pasha, the organizer of the anti-CAA protest said that Amulya was not invited to the event.

"We were the organizers of the event. At around 6:45 pm on Thursday, when I and Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi were entering the stage area, we did not notice Amulya was present there. I did not invite her," Pasha told media.
