Udupi, Apr 8: Congress candidate of Udupi legislative constituency Prasadraj Kanchan said that all the seven ticket aspirants of Congress will work unitedly with him in order to make the party victorious.
Speaking to media at the Congress Bhavan, Kanchan said, “There were eight aspirants for the MLA ticket from the Congress party for the Udupi constituency. The party high command has given the ticket to me. It is usual for the aspirants, who were not selected by party high command, to feel unhappy.
“I have spoken personally to Krishnamurthy Acharya and asked him to take his decision in a peaceful manner. He is one of the most active workers of our party. He will be with our party in the coming days too. I have held meeting with block Congress president and other aspirants. The block president has given full support to me. We have held a joint meeting with party workers at Manipal,” he said.
Kanchan met Vidyasagara Theertha Sripada, paryaya seer of Udupi Sri Krishna Math, first time after announcement of his candidature and sought his blessings. Also, he met Sri Vidyavallabha Theertha Sripada of Kaniyoor Math and sought his blessings too.
