Mysuru: Slamming the State Government for selecting actress Tamannaah Bhatia, who mainly works in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi films as the Brand Ambassador for Mysore Sandal Soap manufactured by State-run Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited (KSDL), former Minister and JD(S) Working President S.R. Mahesh wanted to know for what reason the actress was appointed by paying her a hefty remuneration.
Addressing a press meet at his office on Ramavilas Road here this morning, Mahesh said that when he was the Tourism Minister in the JD(S)-Congress coalition Government (2018- 2019) he had appointed Mysore Royal family member Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, who was not in politics then, as the Ambassador of the State Tourism Department. Questioning the rationale behind the appointment of the actress, he said there are many achiever Kannadigas, who have earned global fame and one among them can be named as the Brand Ambassador for KSDL products.
