Bengaluru, Sep 1: Speculation that ‘Challenging Star’ Darshan may join Congress and a preliminary talk has already been held with the Congress High Command on getting him to join the party is abuzz in the Sandalwood grapevine.
If rumours are to be believed, then star turned politician Ambareesh and KPCC president Dr Parameshwar are in the forefront in enticing the glamorous star to join the party. It is said that there are possibilities that Darshan will content against the current MP, State BJP Yuva Morcha president Pratap Simha from Mysuru-Kodagu Lok Sabha constituency.
Meanwhile, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President G Parameshwara said that the star joining Congress was “news” to him. Denying the rumour, he said there are no discussions held in roping in Darshan. Even rumours that Congress has approached Puneeth Rajkumar or Shiva Rajkumar as star campaigners are not true, he added.
Darshan’s mother Meena Thoogudeepa Srinivas who is a KPCC secretary denied knowledge on Darshan joining the party. “I don’t know about Darshan joining the party. It is his personal choice. I will discuss the matter with him,” she told reporters.
