Udupi: A significant development has taken place in Udupi-Chikkamagalur Lok Sabha Constituency.
Sources say that incumbent MP Shobha Karandlaje may not contest from Udupi – Chikkamagaluru constituency and with this decision youth leader of the BJP Yashpal Suvarna has bright chances of being fielded as the MP candidate. What has sparked this news is that Suvarna is in Delhi following a call from national leadership.
Many say that Karandalaje is all set to get BJP State Chief’s position.
Many BJP workers in Udupi district are hoping that Jayaprakash Hegde should get the BJP ticket from Udupi –Chikmagalur constituency, but according to sources close to the BJP circle in the constituency, only two names were in the final list.
Yashpal Suvarna is expected to get full support from the backward communities, Bunt and Billava communities. Even fisherman communities, that he belongs to has extended their full support to him.
Yashpal Suvarna has good support and backing in Chikmagalur as well. Now that Jayaprakash Hegde is also trying for the Udupi-Chikkamagalur ticket, the people in the constituency are eagerly waiting for the final result.
The missing Suvarna Tribhuja boat incident too has been raked up by the opposition and fielding Suvarna can be a smart move by the BJP, say many.
