Udupi, April 29, 2013: Senior Congress leader and former union minister B Janardhan Poojari has come down heavily on former minister  Vasanth Salian for quitting the party just because he was denied a ticket  to contest the elections from Kaup constituency this time.

Poojari was speaking to reporters at the RajeevBhavan here on April 28, Sunday. Continuing, he said  the party had given many opportunities to Salian and also pointed out that he had won  the election five times.   Launching a tirade against Salian for quitting the party, Poojari pointed out how he  had obeyed the high command decision despite being  refused a ticket twice.

To a question if Salian would be reinducted into the party, Poojari said Salian is welcome if he joins the party before the elections. But the Congress doors will be closed for him if he decides to  rejoin after the elections, Poojari said.

Vinaykumar Sorake, Congress candidate from Kaup, Naveen Shetty, Jaya Shetty Sudhir Kumar and other leaders were present.
