Actress Rakshitha Prem has taken the plunge into politics and on Friday, officially joined B Sriramulu���s newly formed BSR Congress party. The girl, who acted with Vijay in Madhurey, says, ���I had been toying with the idea of entering politics for a while. Over the past two weeks, I gave it a serious thought and decided I���ll take the plunge.��� She adds, ���I met Sriramulu and liked his ideology behind forming this party.
He wants to work directly from the grassroot level. There are so many places in north Karnataka that are completely neglected, without basic amenities like water and electricity. These are the people we want to work for. After all, they are the reason why we exist. Agriculture is the means of our sustenance. We need to help them first. These areas are neglected.���
Rakshitha also reveals that it is the party���s proactive nature that appealed to her. ���The party will not take part in debates, discussions and look for media attention. I have taken my first step and I���m looking for the support of people,��� the actress signs off.
