Mangaluru, Nov 3: Four time MLA representing Mulky-Moodbidri assembly constituency, Abhayachandra Jain, is willing to give up the chance to fight the assembly election for the fifth time in a row, subject to the condition that the party should issue ticket to Dakshina Kannada district youth Congress president, Mithun Rai. He revealed his mind during his interview with a Kannada daily.

Abhayachandra's stand in favour of the youth Congress has come out at a time when there is information that MLC and chief whip of the legislative council, Ivan D'Souza, has been trying to become official candidate of Congress for this constituency in the next assembly election.

Abhayachandra, who is happy about development works conducted during his four and half years of this term, is inclined to leave the seat if youth Congress is given a chance to fight the election. He said he is not seeking ticket for his own family member or a relative but just for a candidate belonging to youth Congress.

Jain said that he is fit to contest the election again, but explained that as a sincere worker of the party, he is prepared to leave the seat if youth Congress gets a chance to fight the election. He added that those who succeed in getting support from party workers from the constituency will alone succeed in the election.
