Bengaluru: Actress Sumalatha has claimed that the government is tapping her phones. The actress is contesting as an independent candidate from Mandya Lok Sabha seat against Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy’s son Nikhil.
On Monday, she gave an oral complaint to the Election Commission in connection to this accusing the state government of misusing its powers. She is expected to file a written complaint later in the day.
Sumalatha has further alleged that no security was being provided to her even though she had expressed concerns regarding her safety and also said that her opponents were trying to intimidate her.
In the backdrop of BJP party deciding to support Sumalatha’s candidature by not fielding its candidate in Madya, Sumalatha met BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa earlier in the day. The contest in Mandya is set to become a direct fight between Sumalatha and Nikhil with the BJP backing the wife of late actor and minister Ambareesh.
