Mangaluru: Welcoming the BJP’s decision to field BJP State Secretary Brijesh Chowta from Dakshina Kannada, outgoing MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said in Mangaluru on Wednesday that he will return to party work.
Talking to reporters, Kateel said he would work with party workers for the victory of Chowta and realise the objective of getting Narendra Modi back as the Prime Minister for the third term. “I won this seat (in 2019) with a lead of more than 2.75 lakh.
