MANGALURU: Controversial filmstar Huccha Venkat said that, saddened by the living conditions of people in rural areas and the financially backward in urban centres, he has decided to contest the upcoming elections as an independent from R R Nagar constituency in Bengaluru.
At a media interaction on Wednesday, he claimed that this is his first step towards becoming the prime minister. Later in the speech, he said that, on becoming the PM, he would ensure that women wear only sarees or salwars on the streets.
He would have liked to form the Huccha Venkat Party before announcing his election plans, he said, that he was short on time. The actor added that he will not fold hands or seek votes with door-to-door campaigns, nor will he give out freebies.
