Ramya skips darshan of her political guru Ambareesh
Fans express their resentment against actress’ absence
Mandya, November 26: People expressed their anger against actress and former Lok Sabha Member Ramya who did not turn up to have last darshan of actor and former minister Ambareesh in the city.
Film fraternity and personalities from other walks of life including politicians came and paid their homage to the departed soul. But she was absent and it has triggered an anger among fans. In fact, Ambareesh was instrumental in Ramya’s entry into the politics. Moreover, she is an actress. She should have expressed her condolences when a senior actor died, people said.
Ramya was absent from the funeral of farmers leader KS Puttannaiah who strived hard for her victory in the Lok Sabha election and from the voting of the Lok Sabha by-election.

FIR registered against Karnataka seer over his remarks on voting power to Muslims
Bengaluru (PTI): An FIR has been registered against Vishwa Vokkaliga Mahasamastana Math seer Kumara Chandrashekaranatha Swamiji for his remarks on voting power to Muslims, police said on Friday.
He made the statement during a protest meeting organised by the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh here on Tuesday against notices issued by Karnataka's Waqf board.
Urging everyone to unite to protect farmers and their land, Swamiji said that a law should be brought in where Muslims community don't have the voting power.
Stating that it should be ensured there is no Waqf board, he said someone taking away someone else's land is not "Dharma".
"...everyone should fight against injustice being caused to farmers...it is said that the Waqf board can claim anyone's land. It is a big injustice...someone taking away someone else's land is not Dharma... So, everyone should fight to ensure that farmers' land remains with them," the seer had said.
However, on Wednesday, Swamiji expressed regret over his statement, calling it a "slip of tongue".
He said Muslims are also citizens of this country, and they too have voting rights like others.
Based on the complaint by a social worker, the FIR was registered against him on Wednesday at Upparpet police station here, police said.
"We have registered a case against him (Swamiji) under section 299 (Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita," a senior police officer said.
