Belagavi: Union Minister and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has raised allegations of a conspiracy within the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru constituency to prevent her from receiving a ticket in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing reporters in Belagavi, she stated, "Opposition within the party is actually an advantage for me. When there is opposition, our leaders spread information about us. Otherwise they only used to say that Shoba is doing good work for the party."
Karandlaje further added that party leaders are providing information about why they are opposing her, which she believes will only help highlight her development works and true personality. She expressed confidence in the High Command's decision-making process and remains hopeful of receiving the ticket based on her track record of work.
"I have undertaken significant development work in my constituency and will seek votes based on these achievements," she said.
I have the satisfaction of doing both party work and government work honestly. Those who have worked will get a chance. This applies to all. In some cases it may be different due to the caste factor, Shoba said.
She further said that “I am an example that the high command recognizes our hard work.”
Responding to speculation that several sitting BJP MPs might not receive tickets for the Lok Sabha elections, Karandlaje stated that she had no specific information about this. She said that it is natural for many party workers to seek tickets, and those who have worked tirelessly for the party over the years have the right to do so.
