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.
