Mangaluru, Nov 20, 2021: In an interesting development, SCDCC Bank Chairman M N Rajendra Kumar who had decided to contest the Karnataka Legislative Council election from the local authorities constituency of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi, has now backtracked and has said he would not be contesting. It may be recalled here that he had even opened his Election Office recently.
Rajendra Kumar said he has decided against contesting as he wished to remain apolitical in the co-operative sector.
Interestingly, this development comes a day after State Co-operation Minister S T Somashekhar had said that government can dismiss Rajendra Kumar for alleged misappropriation of funds.
