Mithun Rai Denied ticket; Youth Congress leaders submit mass resignation
Mangaluru: The Dakshina Kannada district Youth Congress leaders, along with members, decided to tender mass resignations on Tuesday expressing dissatisfaction over denial of party ticket to the Youth Congress President Mithun Rai, who wanted to contest from Mulky-Moodbidri constituency.
Addressing media persons at a hotel here, Kiran Kumar Goddigutlu, DK Congress general secretary, said that Mithun Rai had been actively involved in the Congress activities at Mulki for past three years. But now, injustice has been meted out to him by denying the Assembly ticket,” he said.
“Mulky-Moodbidri MLA K Abhayachandra Jain had declared three years ago that his seat will be given to youth leaders in the next election. Following this, Rai has been working honestly to build party in Mulky-Moodbidri constituency. However, he has not been considered in the final list of Congress candidates,” Kumar lamented.
“We will meet youth leaders and discuss their issues. They will not be working against the party. We will convince them and solve the issue,” he added.
Congress leaders Sohail Kandak, Merril Rego, Tauseef, Abhinandan Belthangady, Prathashanth, Kiran Kumar, Siddique, Prasad Malli and others were present in the press meet.

Delhi CM Atishi breaks down over BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri's remarks targeting her
New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Monday broke down while addressing a press conference here over BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri's remarks against her.
BJP's Kalkaji candidate Bidhuri on Sunday courted controversy for his remarks on Atishi's surname. Responding to Bidhuri's charge, Atishi said, "How can our politics downgrade so much? He should show what work he has done for Kalkaji when he was MP for 10 years."
He should ask for votes based on his work, not by abusing my father, she added. Speaking at BJP's 'Parivartan Rally' in Rohini that was later addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bidhuri said Atishi changed her surname from "Marlena" to "Singh".
Atishi, who is the sitting MLA from the Kalkaji Assembly seat, dropped her surname a while back. "This Marlena (surname used earlier by Atishi) became Singh and changed her name. Kejriwal swore over his children not to go with the corrupt Congress; Marlena changed fathers. Earlier she was Marlena; now she has become Singh. This is their character," Bidhuri charged.
