Mandya
was
indeed
the
most
interesting
constituency
of
Karnataka
in
the
recent
Lok
Sabha
elections.
Two
known
faces
from
Sandalwood,
Sumalatha
and
Nikhil
Kumar
contested
against
each
other
as
independent
candidates.
While
Nikhil
was
backed
up
by
the
whole
of
Karnataka
government,
Sumalatha
received
major
support
from
Kannada
actors
Darshan
and
Yash.
Several
accusations
were
made
against
Darshan
after
Siddharamaiah
lost
in
the
previous
elections.
However,
after
becoming
the
MP,
Sumalatha
has
slammed
accusations
made
against
D
Boss.
When
Darshan
came
forward
to
support
Sumalatha
during
her
canvass,
the
opposition
mocked
him
saying
Siddharamaiah
lost
because
of
the
actor.
They
also
said
that
Darshan
being
by
Sumalatha's
side
will
only
lead
to
her
defeat.
Though
many
actors
refused
to
get
involved
in
the
politics,
Darshan
and
Yash
stood
strong
and
campaigned
vigorously
for
Ambareesh's
family.
After
winning
the
MP
seat
at
Mandya,
Sumalatha
has
proved
that
all
the
accusations
against
Darshan
were
false.
Ambareesh's
fans
are
also
thanking
Darshan
for
being
by
Amma's
side.
Some
of
them
even
visited
his
residence
in
Bangalore
to
celebrate
by
bursting
crackers
and
distributing
sweets.
Sumalatha
has
been
constantly
thanking
the
people
of
Mandya
for
believing
in
her
and
giving
her
a
chance
to
serve
them.
Also,
she
is
grateful
to
Ambareesh's
fans
as
they
have
helped
her
carry
her
husband's
legacy
forward.
