Kishan Hegde Kolkebailu


Ramesh Kanchan


Prakhyath Shetty


Sathish Amin Padukere

KPCC has already done one round of secret survey in this regard. Once the elections are declared, more surveys will take place.

Is Udupi legislative constituency reserved for Mogaveeras?

The senior leaders of Congress party feel that Udupi legislative constituency reserved for Mogaveeras. If the fishermen community has to be given priority among the five legislative constituencies of the district, then it is Udupi. In other constituencies, the community of the candidate is already chosen.

On the whole, once Pramod Madhwaraj has left the party leaders are showing directly and indirectly their interest for the MLA candidature. If priority is given to Mogaveera community, the competition will be more as they have a big chunk of the voters. However, the Congress leaders have the experience that the calculations of senior leaders of the party may take any turn at the last moment.

    Out of the above aspirants , 7 are from Mogaveera community . Udupi constituency has a history of Mogaveera MLA's . I guess Ashok kodavoor may get the ticket this time because he is long time associated with congress. He has a good rapport with senior leaders.

    Who are these people,? is the first question any Udupi citizen would ask. They are not grass root level workers that people identify. ONly Sabapathi is a little known here not for his work, but for being an ex JD and then jumping to Congress, Nothing else to boast off.

    Change is the new Mantra. AAP is the new order. In my view,' fight ' is out of the equation. Its just survival for these candidates. Not many in Udupi know them , including myself.

    I am from Udupi and can say there are many issues here. Apart from Mr. Sabapathi, I am not sure if any ones knows the others beyond their respective corporation wards. Mr. Sabapathi too has crossed his prime and current voters do not relate to what he says. He too has the tag of 'not original Congressi' . So in a nut shell . The 'tough fight' will be only for survival with AAP and other regional parties in the battle field now.

    Too many aspirants in big problem in Congress. If one guy wins Panchayat level election, in next 2-3 years, he becomes contender for MLA ticket! All the aspirants who fails to get ticket to contest, will try to defeat the official contender! But, in BJP, their high command decision is final. Whether their ticket aspirants likes or not, they have to accept party nominated contender!

    All these ' leaders' do not have the draw of Pramod Madhwraj. Moreover they are not that able or famous for that matter. Only people in their locality may know thembut not whole of Udupi. Also AAP is in the fray , so its going to be tough luck. Sabapathi is a bit notable, but again he is party hopper from JD.

    Getting party ticket is mainly depended on unity among people of various communities. In coastal Karnataka few communities express their unity. Considering mass appealing capability, I think any one from the following 4 well known figures (1) U R Sabhapati (2) Amrith Shenoy (3) Bhujanga Shetty (4) Krishnamurthy Acharya, will get party ticket.
