BIZARRE: Sumalatha meets prime minister | Mind Blowing Facts

Sumalatha Ambareesh Narendra Modi Bharatiya Janata Party Lok Sabha Parliament New Delhi

A day after meeting BJP national president J.P. Nadda and party general secretary (Organisation) B.L. Santhosh, Independent Lok Sabha member Sumalatha Ambareesh on Friday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament in Delhi.

After the meeting, the actor-turned-politician heaped praises on the Prime Minister and quoted him as saying, “We will continue to work together.” Ms. Sumalatha had extended her support to the BJP during the Karnataka Assembly elections last year.

Mandya constituency has become a contentious issue, with the BJP’s alliance partner Janata Dal (Secular) as well as Ms. Sumalatha pitching for it in the upcoming Lok Sabha election. The Mandya MP had defeated Nikhil Kumaraswamy, JD(S) youth wing president and son of the former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, in the 2019 election.
