Mangaluru: A day after BJP leader and former minister Krishna J Palemar openly expressed his discontent and blamed MP Nalin Kumar Kateel for losing the BJP ticket from Mangaluru North Constituency, Hindu activist and BJP leader Sathyajith Surathkal on Sunday April 22, alleged “game-play” by RSS leader Praksah PS and MP Nalin Kumar Kateel behind denial of ticket to him from Mangaluru North Constituency.
Speaking to media, Sathyajith Surathkal said, “My supporters are demanding me to contest the elections independently. I have worked for Sangh Parivar without black-mark from past 35 years.”
“Leaders should make it clear why the ticket was denied to me. I am not ready to accept if they claim it was denied based on survey results and suggestion from BJP national leaders. During the Lokasabha elections I had worked to resolve confusions in the constituency. I feel that because of MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and RSS leader Prakash PS I have lost the ticket. The leaders should clear this by 10:00 am tomorrow (Monday April 23)” he said.
