Bangalore: Independent Bellary rural MLA, B. Sriramalu has succeeded in securing cine star Rakshita married to director Prem to join his now BSR Party on Friday even before it is officially launched.

But the eagerness of film heroines to serve political leaders is so evident I Karnataka that theater goes are outside on streets these days and Kannada films even on digital are removed from theatres by the dozen as halls are empty on a quorum of 6 viewers.

After Ramya in Congress Pooja Gandhi and Radhika in JD-s Malavika Avinash Tara in BJP can Rakshita be far behind? Prem and Rakshitha are likely to join B. Sri in his fledgling party to tackle “back-stabber” Yeddyurappa in Bangalore and state politics when he is free from land scams.

Prem, when contacted was confused because he is from Mandya like Ambareesh who failed in politics.

So only Rakshita can be counted upon this week or next. Prem has to choose from several parties making coy signs at him to come and join.

We are not pressing him too much lest he becomes a “Jogi” in political field too.
