Chennai, Apr 13 (IBNS) Khusbhu, the well known actress in the Tamil film industry, is likely to be the Congress nominee in North Chennai's Radhakrishnan Nagar constituency to take on AIADMK candidate and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in the forthcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly polls on May 16.

Reports quoted the actor as saying on Wednesday that she is ready to contest elections from any constituency which her party decided. 

The main opposition DMK having an alliance with the Congress, is said to have have accepted the ally's request to allot the R K Nagar Assembly segment to them.

“I am ready to contest from anywhere the TNCC chief (E V K S Elangovan), Congress President (Sonia Gandhi) and Vice President (Rahul Gandhi) asks me to contest. I will tell the truth to the people and seek votes if I am given a chance to contest,” Khusbhu said.
