The actor extended his support to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai who he referred to as his “mama” (uncle).
“I call the CM ‘Mama’ (uncle’ as I have seen him since my childhood. I have very few people who stood by me since childhood, so it won’t be wrong to call him Mama (uncle). I didn’t have a godfather when I entered the film industry. I want to extend my support to him (CM),” he said at a press conference with Bommai.
Explaining how he convinced Sudeep to campaign for the BJP, CM Bommai said, “I have spoken to him (Sudeep) that we need you for campaigning. So, he will do campaigning for our party. We will plan how we have to proceed regarding the campaigning. It should benefit him and the party also. He is like strength to us now. I welcome him.”
Assembly polls are scheduled to be held in a single phase on May 10 and counting will take place on May 13.
