    If you are saying that you are a close aide of KPCC president D K Shivakumar, definitely you must have consulted him before filing the Nomination. Though why all these drama ???

    Better to come out of Congress and join AAP. This Congress and BJP are one and the same and also Gowda Dal.

    Good decision by Mithun Rai,
    In my opinion, he need to concentrate towards becoming a MLA candidate from Puttur constituency as he has more followers from Puttur taluk.

    Mithun may have followers in Puttur agreed. Even if its, its going to be very tough to win . as BJP has very strong and deep in really deep in DK. The Congress party has to allot him a very safe constituency like Ulala or Wayanad where victory is ensured.

    Clearly displays only sycophancy has role in party. Its a Shame that one day hope was given to Mithun Rai and next day he is asked by none other than DiKeShi to withdraw, there is absolutely no internal democracy in CONgress.

    So? How will it save the depleted condition of Congress. Today they are still tryin to prove that they are the biggest opposition party. The only card they had was minority appeasement. That too has been snatched away by the other parties.

    At one point of time, the only option for minorities was Congress. However now the scene is different. There are other lucrative options for minorities.

    Once again,, we are back to the same 'old story' of Congress. Come what may at the end its the chelas of politicians who become youth leaders despite repeated failures. Thats why supporters are deserting the party and looking for greener pastures. When will the party select and elect people on merit and performance basis ??? . They have still not opened its eyes after the Panchayat elections.!

    " Will they.. Won't they survive " is the common refrain, expressed by die hard, grass root workers, in the disabled INC party !!!! They are acutely aware, that sycophants, are selected and then elected !!!! This " Election Drama " enacted, is a mere ploy, to hoodwink the genuine sympathizers and well wishers, of the party....

    Rai Saab.... accepting the defeat before the race starts???
    Better you run for it.... so that you can understand how people will support you
    In recent held Panchayat Election, one of my relative stood as Independent Candidate since his Party refused to give ticket.... Surprisingly, he got 167 Votes as against winning Candidate with 269 Votes means short by 102 votes... which was surprised all.
    Many of us lost a bet to him because we challenged him to get 100 votes as maximum
