Sumalatha Ambareesh to remain neutral in by-poll to KR Pete

Member of Parliament from Mandya constituency Sumalatha Ambareesh on Sunday said she has decided to remain neutral in the by-election to K R Pete assembly segment, putting to rest speculations on whether she would support the BJP or Congress.

"I'm not involved in campaigning, because in my opinion people have voted and blessed me to work, there is nothing that I will have to take part in all elections," Sumalatha, also a popular multi lingual actress said.

Speaking to reporters here, she said, "I don't want to hurt anyone, because in my election everyone has helped me.

BJP strongly stood by me without fielding a candidate and campaigned for me, at the same time it is because of Congress party workers in Mandya I contested for Lok Sabha."
