Karkala: It seems that it is not only the congress party that faces differences during the ZP elections. A rift among the Sangh Parivar and BJP leaders, the party seems be witnessing major setback in the Bailoor ZP constituency by denying ticket to Sumith Shetty of Karkal BJP youth wing who was the aspirant for the ticket. The BJP sources say that TP member Vikram Hegde has been given the ticket.
Sumith has been actively in the Rastriya Swayam Sevak Sangha and was leading the party in all activities. The party high command is said to be denied the ticket to Sumith. It is learnt that Sumith will be contesting as an independent candidate. The youth of Bailoor have come in support of Sumith.
Sumith Shetty’s followers have confirmed Sumith’s candidature in Facebook. Shetty’s followers allege that Sunil Kumar together with Maniraj Shetty have denied ticket to Sumith. They also say that BJP only remembers activists of Hindu outfits. While the elections commence they have restricted us to fix banners and hoardings.
Sumith said to mangalorean.com that some leaders of the BJP have brought pressure on the Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar, hence ticket to Vikram Hegde has been finalised. He said, the party workers are not consulted while giving the ticket. If the BJP leaders give me a chance then I will contest the elections as a BJP candidate, if not I will contest as an independent candidate.
Vikram Hegde has not brought pressure for Ticket from any corner, instead Sumith Shetty has bought pressure from all corner. Party Taluk high command after consultation with BJP workers finalised the ticket.
Everything is going well in Karkala BJP. It’s quite common during ticket issues. And high command finalised the candidate and Vikram Hedge Will get the B-forum.
Don’t give importance to rumours which is created on social midea. As Vikram Hedge come up step by step as a panchayath member to karkala taluk president and having lot of experience as a BJP member parry highcommnd offered the ticket to him.
And about Sumith he is a party member and he will follow highcommnd regulations and he won’t cross BJP agendas what Modiji having.And won’t contest for ZP.
Chandan Hegde ji Vikram Hegde has not brought pressure for Ticket any corner, then said to Vikram Hegde keep quite.
