KICCHA SUDEEP DENIES JOINING BJP

The news comes a day after it was reported that Kiccha, a popular pan-India star, and one of the most renowned personalities in Karnataka, is going to join the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the Karnataka Assembly Elections. However, on Wednesday, he denied the rumours and mentioned that he’s only going to campaign for the party in the state, and not entering into politics. He also mentioned that he knows the person who has sent him the threat letters. Speaking to the media, Kiccha said, “Yes, I have received a threat letter and I know who sent it to me. I know it is from someone in the film industry. I will give a befitting reply to them.

KICCHA SUDEEP SAYS HE KNOWS WHO’S SENT HIM THREAT LETTERS

Speculations have been rife that the Kannada superstar is likely to join the political party in the presence of Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai today. Kiccha enjoys a huge fan following in the state and his entrance into politics will be a solid push to the BJP in the state. Speaking on the same lines, Karnataka Transport Minister B Siramulu told the media that the party is going to benefit a lot from the actor’s presence. “Kichcha Sudeep is a very popular leader, along with a popular actor. He is a very big artist in the whole country. His support to BJP will be of great benefit to our party”, reported the news agency.

As reported by the news agency ANI, some senior officers are also thinking to hand over the case to Central Crime Branch (CCB). The assembly elections in Karnataka are slated to take place on May 10.
