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.

Minister Parameshwara says remarks on properties linked to drug peddlers 'misunderstood'
Tumakuru (PTI): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Saturday said his recent remarks on the demolition of properties linked to those involved in narcotics trade were "misunderstood and misinterpreted".
His clarification follows remarks made two days ago on the government's uncompromising crackdown on the drug menace, including action against properties linked to foreign nationals allegedly involved in drug trafficking.
"It is unfortunate. It is taken in the wrong sense. I didn't mean that tomorrow itself I am going to send bulldozers and demolish the houses. That was not my intention. It was wrongly taken," he told reporters here.
Responding to Congress MLC K Abdul Jabbar's question in the legislative council on the growing drug menace in Bengaluru, Davangere and coastal districts, the minister on Thursday detailed the extensive enforcement measures initiated since the Congress government assumed office.
Pointing to the involvement of some foreign nationals, the minister had said, "Many foreign students from African countries have come to Karnataka. They are into the drug business. We catch them and register cases against them, but they want the case to be registered because once the case is registered, we cannot deport them."
"We have gone to the extent of demolishing the rented building where they stay," he had said.
