Rebel Star Ambareesh Seeks Congress Ticket For Wife Sumalatha

Ahead of 2018 Karnataka polls, Kannada rebel star and Congress MLA Ambareesh is hinting at launching his wife actress Sumalatha in politics. While rumours of the Mandya MLA quitting congress have been doing the rounds, Sumalatha's political launch is now grabbing the headlines. It is learnt that Ambareesh has requested the party high command to grant ticket to his wife instead of him.

From the past few months, Ambareesh has been staying away from party activities. Besides, he has neither sought a party ticket not has the party high command ready to give him the ticket.

But the congress high command has not rejected his ticket as it may create ruckus in the party politics. Instead, the party leaders are citing his unstable health condition to offer him a ticket. Meanwhile, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been requesting the party for Ambareesh's party ticket as he learnt that the congress party will lose the MLA seat if the party does not give him ticket.

But according to sources, Ambareesh asked the party command to provide the ticket for his wife as he has health issues.

On the other hand, the party high command is also not showing their interest for providing tickets to Badami MLA along with Ambareesh.
