Will Kichcha Sudeep Movies Be Banned Before Polls? Here's What Karnataka Lawyer Told Election Body
Karnataka Elections 2023: Films, TV shows, and advertisements featuring Kichcha Sudeep could influence voters, leading to a violation of the model code of conduct, a Shivamogga-based lawyer said

In a letter to the EC and the district returning officer of Shivamogga, advocate Sripal said that the actor himself had announced that he would campaign for a particular political party. Films, TV shows, and advertisements featuring him could influence voters, leading to a violation of the model code of conduct, he added.

At a press conference with Bommai on Wednesday, Sudeep said that he will campaign for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), giving the ruling party a shot in the arm as it seeks to retain power in the state.

The superstar has a huge following in central Karnataka, especially among the Scheduled Tribes as he belongs to the ST Nayaka community.

In October last year, on the eve of Valmiki Jayanti, the BJP government had announced to increase in reservations for SC/STs. The state Cabinet unanimously agreed to hike the quota for SCs to 17% (from 15%) and for STs to 7% (from 3%).

According to reports, the Nayaka community is the largest among the nearly 52 tribes in the state, and BJP has gained support among a significant section of the community. Karnataka has 15 Assembly constituencies reserved for STs and 36 seats for SCs.

“I call the CM ‘maama’ (uncle’ as I have seen him since my childhood. I have very few people who stood by me since childhood, so it won’t be wrong to call him ‘maama’ (uncle). I didn’t have a Godfather when I entered the film industry. I want to extend my support to him (CM),” Sudeep said.
