Bengaluru, Sept 16: Kannada superstar Upendra, who had to quit his own party, Karnataka Pragnyavanta Janata Party (KPJP) within months after its formation ahead of last assembly polls, is now all set to begin second innings in politics by launching Uttama Prajakeeya Party (I) — UPPI in short.

The controversial actor had entered politics on his 49th birthday through KPJP, is likely to announce the new party on his 50th birthday which falls on Tuesday (Sept 18). If sources are to be believed, he is likely to field candidates in next Lok Sabha polls.

Upendra says he is wiser for his past experience. “I learnt a lesson from the previous experience and have taken enough care before launching UPP(I),” he says.

Ask him about the significance of the “I” in the party’s name, and he says, “I stands for every person who identifies with the party’s ideology.” Upendra is still trying to zero in on a symbol that suits the party’s ideology. Before joining the KPJP, he had dressed in khaki, a symbol of the working class. That party’s symbol was an auto-rickshaw.

Upendra had resigned from the primary membership of the KPJP citing differences with other members. Interestingly, KPJP candidate R Shankar, who won from Ranebennur constituency in this year’s Assembly elections, is a Minister in the coalition government.

Its not only your second chance. Its your final chance.

I am a biggest fan of your films and acting. As a politician, you disappointed us from the beginning itself

Its true that you have good mind of serving people but it wont fits for current politics

Soon after formation you shown your real face. You thought in KPJP, only you can dominate. and you failed to realise and the party became biggest flop

He is not fits for politics. Politicians are less selfish people. Because they will loot much and spend very less to people. They wont show their selfishness. Politicians wait for biggest oppotunity. But you spoiled previous attempt due to less home work

UPPI will be biggest flop. Its better to concentrate on films.
