Sumalatha Ambareesh who did not seek a re-election from Mandya parliamentary seat after being elected as an Independent in 2019, said here on Saturday that she will campaign in Mandya if the party asks her to do so.
Sumalatha campaigning or lack of it in Mandya has garnered interest among the public as she had a long-running feud with the Janata Dal (Secular) president and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy who is now contesting from Mandya while she has not entered the fray.
Though she was widely expected to seek re-election in continuation of the vitriolic feud with Mr. Kumaraswamy, the two have ostensibly sued for peace following the JD(S) allying with the BJP which surrendered Mandya to its alliance partner.
