Will wait for Congress' decision before drawing myself to any conclusion: Sumalatha Ambarish
Bengaluru: "I am willing to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections on Congress' ticket from Mandya. I am waiting for the party's decision before coming to a conclusion" said actress Sumalatha Ambarish.
Speaking to media persons in the City on Sunday, she said, "I am not bothered about what other parties say, do or decide. I am only bothered about Congress' decision. I am waiting for it" she clarified.
"I haven't received any official information in this regard as yet from the party high command. I will only clear my stand only after getting an official confirmation from Congress" she added.
Mandya constituency is causing headache for the Congress high command with actress willing to contest from the constituency while its coalition alliance party in the state (JDS) has also claimed stakes on the constituency. They are expected to not let go the Mandya seat, as they claim JDS has received more popularity and dominance in the constituency.
