Bengaluru: Kannada film stars Doddanna and Rockline Venkatesh (also a film producer) came in support of Mandya MP Sumalatha Ambarish over the issue of setting up a Memorial for actor-politician M.H. Ambarish, known as ‘Rebel Star’ among masses. Both hit out at former CM H.D. Kumaraswamy of telling ‘blatant lies’ on the Memorial and wrongfully claiming credit for the work not done by him.
Rejecting Kumaraswamy’s claim that it was he as the CM who ensured Memorial and respectful last rites to late Ambarish, Sumalatha said, “People who don’t have the dignity to take Ambarish’s name are talking about him. Don’t you have any achievements to speak about? Why are you still taking Ambarish’s name? It has been two years since he died.”
