Mandya, Aug 12, 2013: Actor Ramya was overcome with emotion when she went around the town in a open vehicle on Monday, canvassing for votes for the August 21 byelection to the Mandya Lok Sabha constituency. Ramya is the Congress candidate for the election necessitated by the resignation of Cheluvarayaswamy as MP, after he was elected to the Assembly.
The actor hit the campaign trail after offering prayers at the Kalikamba temple. She did not speak a word even as her fans tried to shake hands with her. Actor Ambareesh was seen shaking hands with the supporters, who garlanded him.
He said Ramya was in grief, following the death of her foster father, R T Narayan. She had inevitably come for campaigning, the minister said. The State women’s Congress president Manjula Naidu was seen consoling Ramya.
Ambareesh called upon the people to vote for “development of Mandya”. Ramya spoke to reporters in the evening after the inauguration of the party’s election office. She said she had a sore throat. The actor appealed to the voters to elect her so as to strengthen the hands of the State and Central governments.
