Bengaluru: It was earlier speculated that Puneeth Rajkumar would campaign for Sumalatha Ambareesh, as the actress will be contesting as an independent candidate from Mandya for the Lok Sabha polls.

However, Puneeth has denied the speculation and said that he would not support any politician or be part of any political party.

Puneeth has posted a letter on Twitter stating that he is not interested in politics and wishes to be identified only as an actor.

The actor has stated, “Both Ambareesh’s and Deve Gowda’s families are our well-wishers. I pray to god to give both of them more strength to serve the people. I request people not to use my name in election or politics. Voting is the constitutional right that every Indian has, which is completely their choice. As an actor, I can only ask them to take part in the election and use the right sensibly, but I don’t have any right to influence Kannadigas or my fans to cast their votes for one person or party.”
