Mangalore Today News Network

Mangaluru, April 12, 2023: Resentment is brewing within the BJP close on the heels of the announcement of first list of candidates. If Udupi MLA Raghupathi Bhat who was denied a ticket is already disillusioned, another MLA and former minister S Angara who represents Sullia constituency too is visibly upset over denial of ticket and has announced his retirement from politics.

 

Speaking to reporters he said he has served the party as well as society without a blemish for all these years. "This is not the way to honour such a service," he said adding there seems to be no value for honest politics. "I never lobby for anything and this has given me a setback," he said.

It may be recalled here that the party has chosen Bhagirathi Murulya for Sullia constituency.
