Udupi MLA Raghupathi Bhat breaks down in tears, says never expected to be dumped by BJP
Udupi: Udupi MLA Raghupathi Bhat on Wednesday broke down before the media reporters and said he was yet to make a decision on contesting the Karnataka polls without a BJP ticket after he was replaced by Yashpal Suvarna by the party as its candidate.
Speaking to the reporters, Bhat said although he was not upset with not getting the ticket but was pained by how the party treated him and dumped him without any communication.
Replying to questions on reports of him joining the Janardhan Reddy’s party, Bhat said those were rumors and were triggered by people who got the party ticket hinting at Yashpal Suvarna.
He however asserted that he had not expected the party to dump him over his caste. “I have no complaints with the party leadership or PM Modi, but was I needless for the party? I came to know about being dumped by the party through the media, I was not informed of the move, had they asked me, I would’ve resigned myself,” Bhat told reporters.
