Political circles in Karnataka are abuzz with rumours of Kannada superstar Kichcha Sudeepa joining politics following state Congress chief D.K. Shivakumar attending a dinner party at the actor’s residence here.
Shivakumar and Youth Congress state President Mohammad Nalpad attended the dinner party at Sudeepa’s place on Thursday night, and both the leaders spoke to him at length during the occasion.
