It
is
not
new
for
film
stars
to
try
their
luck
in
elections
and
several
artists,
were
elected
to
Assembly,
Lok
Sabha
and
Rajya
Sabha
and
even
held
ministerial
posts.
Now,
Dialogue
King
Saikumar
is
trying
his
luck
in
the
Karnataka
Assembly
Elections.
It
is
worth
mentioning
here
that
Saikumar
has
an
equal
fan
following
both
in
Telugu
and
Kannada.
He
is
contesting
on
Bharatiya
Janata
Party
ticket
from
Bagepalli
constituency,
adjacent
to
the
Anantapur
district
borders.
There
is
a
very
good
response
to
his
public
meetings
and
a
large
numbers
of
people
are
thronging
his
meetings.
If
he
could
garner
the
votes
from
all
those,
who
attended
the
public
meeting,
his
victory
would
be
very
easy.
However,
Saikumar
is
facing
a
tough
fight
from
the
sitting
MLA
from
Communist
Party
of
India
(Marxist)
Srirami
Reddy
and
Congress
nominee
Sampangi.
In
order
to
face
the
tough
competition
from
Saikumar,
the
Congress
candidate
is
planning
to
request
the
Chief
Minister,
Dr
YS
Rajasekhar
Reddy
to
campaign
in
the
party's
favour.
