Cheap Comment On Ramya's Parentage Stirs Controversy
Golden girl Ramya has got a taste of dirty politics as she has received a very cheap comment.. something that she has never heard in her public life so far! It is now clear that the journey in politics will not be a bed of roses to even a respected artiste, as a former legislature has made a remark on her parentage, which has stirred a huge controversy.
JD(S) leader M Srinivas, in an election campaign on Thursday (August 9), raised questions over her background. Apart from remarking about her parentage, he said, "...she does not know where she hails from.... she does not know the name of her caste and such a woman is the Congress candidate!" He requested the Mandya voters not to elect her.
His comment has got a strong reaction from the Congress and other political parties. More importantly, film producer-turned-politician HD Kumaraswamy, who is the state president of JD(S), has not endorsed the Srinivas' comment. He said that he is not aware of his remarks and if Srinivas has made such comment, it should be criticised.
He added, "I will apologise if Ramya is hurt by the statement of my leader. I will not endorse mudslinging of any kind by anybody." Continue reading the story on the slideshow...
