Mandya: “The Janata Dal (S) is playing cheap tricks to defeat me in the upcoming election and trying to malign the reputation of Rebel Star Ambareesh’s family. JD(S) is trying to lure my people to withdraw their support to me,” accused independent candidate Sumalatha.
Sumalatha has said that one of the top leaders of JD(S) had contacted her and revealed that the party was plotting to malign her reputation. “A JD(S) leader told me that the party is planning to morph my photo to its benefit. They are also planning to post details of my personal life on social media. People might see my morphed images and videos in the coming days,” she added.
“The JD(S) has contacted two of our boys who work for our social media accounts and directed them what to do. In return, the party has assured to pay them Rs 15 Lakh cash, a site and a foreign trip. I have never witnessed such cheap politics. Whatever happens, I am ready to face anything,” said Sumalatha.
