Print MANGALORE: Confusion is ruling the roost as far as BJP’s Lok Sabha candidature for Udupi-Chikmagalur constituency is concerned.
This constituency was wrested from the BJP by Congress in the 2012 bypoll when senior BJP leader DV Sadananda Gowda vacated the seat after becoming the chief minister. The Udupi district unit of BJP and its party workers want Gowda as the candidate since they believe he is the only person who can take on sitting Congress MP K Jayaprakash Hegde. However, Gowda is keen on contesting from Bangalore North.
The name of former minister Shobha Karandlaje, a close confidante of former CM BS Yeddyurappa, is also doing the rounds in Udupi. "Party workers are willing to accept her only if Gowda is unwilling to contest, since Hegde has grown all too powerful,’’ a senior party official said.
Shobha had recently said in Bangalore that she had already conveyed to the party her unwillingness to contest from Udupi-Chikmagalur or Mysore. "If my name is not considered for Bangalore North, I will not contest the elections,’’ she had said.
But on Tuesday, Shobha did a U-turn. "I will abide by whatever the party decides,’’ she said, while also indicating her disinterest in contesting the parliamentary polls.
"As of now there are seniors (who are in the fray for Bangalore North). After they decide (who will contest), I will decide. I will not give any statements and add to the confusion,’’ Shobha added when pressed for a definitive answer on whether she was interested in contesting from Udupi.
Gowda too has been non-committal. "I don’t want to say where I will be contesting from. The process is in the final stages and will be clear within a week. Till now, we have not sat together and discussed the issue threadbare and it will be done soon,’’ he said.
