Congress tembling

On actor Sudip supporting BJP, he said the Congress Party had invited the film stars in the election campaign. Did Ambareesh not campaign for BJP and become MLA?

"We were aware of the consequences even before Sudip decided to extend the support to the BJP. Naturally, the Congress leaders are shaking for the actor's support to the saffron party,’’ he said.
