Kannada film star Upendra on Saturday announced that he will launch a new political party in the state, where Assembly polls are due early next year. The actor, who has been on and off dropping hints about his political entry, said he plans to form a party that creates a platform for talents who have ideas and skills to solve people’s problems.
Clad in a khaki shirt, the “real star” as called by his fans, said the dress symbolizes that the party doesn’t want ‘Jana Nayaka’ or ‘Jana Sevaka’ (public leader or public servant), but ‘Jana Karmika’ (public worker).
