Retired Babe Rakshita's Merry-go-round

Express News Service

So Rakshita has now joined the BJP. A quick flashback: She debuted in a Kannada film called Appu, and it got remade as Idiot in Telugu. Yes, Idiot.

After a series of sizzling hits, Rakshita married director Prem, and stopped sizzling for her fans. She then joined Sriramulu’s BSR Congress, where she says she picked up the nuances of politics (while the poor fellow followed her picking up the tab).

After bidding the Bellary boy goodbye, she joined the JD(S), hoping to contest from Mandya against Ramya, her movie industry rival .

That would have been one hell of a fight, but cat lovers are relieved it wasn’t to be.

When no ticket was forthcoming from Deve Gowda, Rakshita realised India needed Narendra Modi as PM, and ran towards the BJP, which has been quick to embrace her. You’re right. Modi is now attracting all and sundari.

And finally

Alagiri likes Modi from the BJP, Karunanidhi from the DMK, and Jayalalalitha from the AIADMK.

J Like a la carte, a la giri, eh?

In UP, Jagadambika Pal ditches Congress, moves to BJP.
