Mangaluru: Sri Ram Sene on Thursday urged the ruling BJP to not contest the Karkala constituency in the upcoming Karnataka Assembly Elections and urged them to support Sri Ram Sene Chief Pramod Mutalik who is likely to contest as an independent candidate from the constituency.

Speaking at a press conference at the Mangaluru Press Club, Anand Shetty Adyar, the State Secretary of the Sene added that corruption, anti-Hindu laws, and unnecessary cases against Hindutva leaders had upset the people of the state.

“People in the state want a diligent leader who will back them and speak for them. We have decided to field Pramod Mutalik in the upcoming elections from the Karkala constituency keeping the demands of the people in mind.

“We hereby bring to the notice of the national and state leaders of the BJP that if the party fields its own candidate instead of supporting Muthalik, the Hindutva organizations will have to look into the matter seriously,” Shetty warned.

He further said that the Sene had urged the BJP to let Hindutva leaders contest in 25 constituencies in the state. “The BJP is yet to reply to our request. Sri Ram Sene, however, has decided to field its contestants for five seats, including Karkala,” he stated.

When asked by the media why Muthalik had opted for Karkala to contest the elections from, Shetty explained, “Our survey has shown that Muthalik’s supporters are high in number in Karkala. Sitting MLA Sunil Kumar too has high regard for Muthalik. We, therefore, decided that Karkala would be the best constituency for him to fight the polls from.”

Sene District President Pradeep Moodushedde, Vice-President Harish Bokkapatna, Organizational Secretary Kishore Neermarga, and Secretary Venkatesh Padiyar attended the press meeting.
