Speaking at Shiggon, from where CM Bommai is contesting the polls, Sudeep said, “The people of Shiggon have received me with such a warm response and I feel happy to be here. I am here today to support my Bommai mama(uncle). Within a short span of time as a CM, he has contributed a lot to the development of Karnataka. He is not a 'naam ke vaaste' CM but he is sure a 'kaam ke vaaste' CM and I will always be there for him."
Sudeep also said that he admires PM Narendra Modi and his work for the country. "Whenever I visit other countries, they speak highly of India and I think our PM is the reason for all the good reputation we have gained. He is truly the most respectable man across the world," he added.
Earlier this month, Kichcha Sudeep said that his support for Bommai is his way of showing gratitude. "During the tough time, few people stood by me and it is time for me to show gratitude to them. I am not a politician and I will not be joining any party. This is my way of showing love towards my Bommai mama," he said.
