Mangalore Today News Network

Mangalore, Feb 25, 2014 : Even as the Congress in the district is gearing up for Primaries to select the candidate for the prestigious Dakshina Kannada  Parliamentary constituency, the BJP which was almost certain of its candidate, is now said to be  in a dilemma.

nalin kumar  1This development comes after several from within the party openly aired their resentment over the candidature of sitting BJP MP Nalin Kumar Kateel.

It has been gathered that a section of the party was disgruntled with Nalin’s style of functioning and wants him to be replaced by some other able candidate.

Sources also revealed that the party was contemplating in this regard  after the RSS too thought it wise to make such a move. It may me mentioned here that Nalin was projected as the party candidate even at the recent Bharatha Gellisi Rally of Gujarat CM and BJP PM candidate Narendra Modi.

The party which used to claim that it had no confusion over selection of candidate as in the Congress where senior leader Janardhan Poojari and Harsha Moily are vying for the ticket, is now  heading towards  some sort of confusion in the district over its candidate.

It is also reliably learnt that the party may choose some other candidate of  the same community.However, the party sources have not yet confirmed anything on this aspect so far.
