Kannada star Kichcha Sudeep will be BJP’s star campaigner for polls

Bengaluru: The BJP has reportedly roped in Kannada superstar Sudeep Sanjeev as the party’s star campaigner in the upcoming assembly polls for the state.

Also known as Kichcha Sudeep, the actor is likely to announce his plans to enter politics on Wednesday, according to The News Minute.

Sudeep Kiccha will hold a press meet with the Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai today.

Meanwhile, the 51-year-old actor told reporters outside his residence that he "won't contest elections and will only campaign for his friends in the upcoming polls."

It is still being debated if the Vikrant Rona star will be joining the BJP just as the elections are around the corner.

The report says that Kichcha Sudeep will decide on entering politics after discussing with his family.

The BJP is planning to secure another term in power by capitalising on the actor’s massive fan following.

The reports of the actor campaigning for the BJP follows speculations of him joining the Congress.

The speculation had to do with the images of the actor with Congress leader DK Shivakumar that went viral on social media.

The source of images was from KPCC Chief Shivakumar’s visit to the actor’s residence in February.
