Bengaluru:
Actress Rashmika Mandana has taken a political form of Rashmika Mandana to call herself ‘from Hyderabad instead of Karnataka’. Ravi Kumar Gowda (Ganiga) and Kannada worker T.A. Narayan Gowda targeted it fiercely. However, Ravi Kumar Gowda has now clarified his statement. He said that I did not mean to attack ‘a lesson’. I meant that they should respect our land and language.
My statement was misinterpreted – Ravi Ganiga
The Congress MLA said that I meant to teach a lesson in life. If you are climbing the ladder and kicks it, then you will fall down. They should have come to the state program. I respect him like his art, but personally wants to say that he is not right. I still stand on my words. My statement was misinterpreted.
At the same time, BJP has demanded security for actress Rashmika Mandana. BJP MLA CT Ravi said, “Rashmika Mandana is an excellent actress, she is an actress of Karnataka. It is the responsibility of the government to provide security to all.”

Kodwa National Council sought security for Rashika
Here Kodwa National Council (CNC) also supported the actress, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and State Home Minister G. He has appealed to God to protect them. CNC President N.U. In a letter to Shah and Parmeshwar, Nachppa alleged that Rashmika is being ‘being threatened and intimidated by an MLA’, which the Kodwa community considers ‘hooliganism’.
Nachppa said that Rashmika, who belongs to the codava tribal caste of Kodwaland, has achieved immense success in the Indian film world on the basis of her hard work and talent. Rashmika has worked with prominent actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan.
He said, “In view of this, CNC demands that the government ensure safety of Rashika and introduce her with proper respect, protect their rights and maintain justice.”
What is the whole matter?
Earlier, the Congress MLA and Kannada worker criticized actress Rashmika Mandana for rejecting the invitation to attend a film festival to be held in Bangalore and describing herself as a resident of Hyderabad. Mandya MLA Ravi Kumar Gowda said that Rashmika belongs to Kodagu district of Karnataka and should be taught a lesson to describe herself as a resident of Hyderabad.
Gowda said, “Rashmika started her cine career with the Kannada film ‘Kirik Party’. The last time she was invited for the film festival, she said that she lives in Hyderabad.” The Congress MLA claimed that Rashmika had even said that she did not know where Karnataka is and she refused to attend the film festival here saying that she did not have time.
Gowda questioned, “One of our MLAs went to Rashmika’s house and invited her several times, but she spoke very objectionable about Kannada, while she came from the land of Kannada. Should she not be taught a lesson?”
Warning the Kannada Film Chamber of Commerce, the Congress MLA said that he would write a letter to the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister requesting to withdraw the subsidy given to the film industry.
Kannada worker T.A. Narayan Gowda told Rashika ‘Mir Sadiq’
At the same time, Karnataka Rakshana Vedike convenor TA Narayan Gowda also said that Rashika belongs to Kodagu and is originally Kannadiga, but she describes herself as the daughter of Telugu and Andhra Pradesh. He said, “You (Rashmika) are growing up here. If you forget the state of Kannada after getting a chance in different languages, then we think what kind of ‘Mir Sadiq’ are you.” Mir Sadiq was the court of Tipu Sultan, who cheated him.
Narayan said that Rashmika should have a sense of respect and pride towards the language and culture of Karnataka. He said, “No matter how big you are, it is your duty to repay the debt of this land.”
The ruling Congress in Karnataka is angry with the film industry over a low attendance at the Bengaluru film festival. State Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivkumar had warned the film industry on Saturday that he knows how to tighten the screw and whom to contact. He had said that if the government does not give support and permission, then films cannot be made.
