‘Rebel Star’ Ambareesh says he will not contest election
Mandya: Former minister Ambareesh has stated that he will not contest the upcoming Assembly polls from Mandya constituency.
“I was forced to resign as housing minister despite giving a good performance. Now why are they (Congress) forcing me to contest the election from Mandya?” He asked.
Minister KJ George, in order to convince the rebel star, visited the latter’s residence but had to return without taking a positive note.
Ambareesh reportedly left his residence just five minutes before the arrival of KJ George, who was visiting the rebel star’s home on the instructions of CM Siddaramaiah.
