Minister DK Shivakumar discloses reason behind Ramya’s absence during cremation of Ambareesh
Bengaluru, November 27: Water Resources Minister DK Shivakumar said that former MP and actress Ramya was unable to attend the funeral of former minister and senior actor Ambareesh due to her leg injury.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Soudha here on Tuesday, the Minister said that she was suffering due to fracture of her leg and she was not in a position to move. So she did not attend the funeral of Ambareesh, he added.
He would thank the people of the state for the peaceful and successful funeral procession of Ambareesh. The state government has efficiently handled its responsibilities. The coalition government has taken the decision of taking the mortal remains of Ambareesh to Mandya for last darshan. Later, people from all parties and artistes were allowed for the darshan. Though some people were unable to get the chance of having darshan, the final procession was peaceful. As the government, they have done their duty. Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had helped the government by providing the army helicopter on time. He would thank the union minister also, he said.
Memorial construction
The coalition govt would take action to construct the memorial of Ambareesh. There was a demand to build the memorial of Vishnuvardhan in the Kanteerava Studio. It would also be discussed and taken a decision, he said.
