"My dearest friends..As you all know ,
The
past
four
months
have
been
some
of
the
most
turbulent
and
troubled
times
of
my
life
.
Life
had
plunged
me
into
an
abyss
of
darkness
from
which
I
felt
at
times
I
would
not
ever
recover
or
survive
,
everything
seemed
and
felt
meaningless
to
me..
But
out
of
the
blue,
an
unknown
force
suddenly
entered
my
life,
one
which
has
totally
taken
me
by
surprise
..the
force
of
a
collective
will
of
people
..the
people
who
have
always
stood
loyally
by
him
through
thick
&
thin..who
had
stood
by
him
over
&
over
again
while
he
was
alive
..and
stood
rock
solid
even
after
he
left
us
.
This
force
has
been
an
eye
opener
to
me
as
to
how
much
he
was
loved
,
how
much
he
is
missed
..during
life
and
beyond.
And
the
same
force
has
reached
out
to
me
and
touched
me
..consoled
me
..saying
..you
are
not
alone
..we
are
here
to
share
your
pain
..and
we
need
you
to
share
ours
too.
Events
that
happened
thereafter
have
set
me
on
an
inevitable
course,
a
new
path
,
which
I
believe
is
the
right
way
,
to
enable
me
to
stand
by
the
people
who
have
given
him
so
much
through
out
his
life
and
forever.
As I am on the verge of embarking on a new journey, I am very aware that its a path filled with thorns and will not be a smooth one at all..some of you might question the direction I am headed towards , the difficulties that lie ahead , and the accompanying stress & difficulties to be faced..and and I appreciate all the loving concern from my dear friends and well wishers . But I feel this is something I need to do..for him ..for myself..for the tremendous love that poured in for Abishek & myself when we lost the person who was the centre our universe & without whom life seemed impossible & meaningless.
Entering politics was never on my agenda in life , but sometimes you choose the moments in life and sometimes the moments choose you . This happens to be one of those moments..A moment where I have to choose between leading a peaceful existence for myself or take a new, unknown, scary& tough path for the sake of the very people who placed all their love and trust on Ambareesh from decades,whose pain on losing him was as deep and heartfelt as Abishek's & mine , who stood by me saying that come what may , they weren't prepared to let go of this bond yet. Who ensured that I never felt alone , who have welcomed me with open arms expecting nothing , but that I stand by them , for them ..the way they have stood by for Ambareesh forever , during his time and after too.
After a lot of introspection , plenty of discussions with my closest and dearest ones.. a lot of impediments from various quarters & a lot of interaction in the very heart of Mandya , I have come to the conclusion that I need to do the right thing now .There is an easy way and there is a right way..but I need to take the right way .. I am very aware that the step I have taken now might not please everyone , might not suit some people at all . But if I dont do this now , if I dont stand by the people that Ambareesh loved from the depth of his heart , if I dont heed their request now ..I will be letting down my husband , his memory and everything he ever stood for and I am not prepared to do that.
The
people
of
Mandya
,
Ambareesh's
legions
of
fans
and
followers
are
all
part
of
us
,
part
of
our
lives
and
I
cannot
look
into
their
eyes
filled
with
love
and
pain
and
be
unmoved
.
Bowing
to
their
request
and
wishes
,
I
have
decided
to
contest
as
an
Independent
candidate
in
the
upcoming
Loksabha
elections
from
Mandya
.
This
is
my
way
of
telling
them
that
our
emotional
bond
hasnt
ended
just
because
he
isnt
amongst
us
anymore
now...his
love
will
continue
&
this
bond
shall
continue
too.
Finally ... I am not doing this to prove anything to anybody , to challenge or oppose anyone either . I dont see it as a fight between me and anyone..I see it as a path to stand by and stand for his people , my people ..I am very aware of what I am up against..and during this course , if I have to take a few brickbats and face some unwarranted insults..so be it , I know I can face it with dignity , for this is a sacrifice I need to do for Mandya and their love . I am guided by Ambareesh's spirit and his principles of never stooping low in politics & life , his honesty and his uncompromising attitude under the toughest circumstances and hope to never. I wish to seek all your good wishes , support , blessings and prayers to protect and guide me on this new journey" - (sic)
