pbrazakManjeshwar, May 19: The Bharatiya Janata Party's efforts to enter Kerala Legislative Assembly through Manjeshwar segment has finally failed as the Indian Union Muslim League has managed to retain the constituency.

Sitting MLA PB Abdul Razak, who harped on the development projects he has initiated in the relatively backward area in the last five years, has emerged victorious again.

This time all the three fronts had opted to field the same candidates who contested the 2011 Assembly election in Manjeshwar.

BJP candidate K Surendran, for the sixth consecutive times has emerged as the runner-up. This time it was a “just miss” for him as he lost the election to Mr Razak by a margin of 89 votes. In 2011 the margin was of 5,828 votes.

The unconditional support offered to the Left Democratic Front by the influential Sunni leader Kanthapuram AP Abubacker Musliyar did not make any impact on the result in Manjeshwar even though the winning margin is reduced.

Haveri, Jan 16: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Wednesday hinted at inducting 16 MLAs into the Cabinet which was due for expansion despite the fact that it was a difficult task.

Participating in a function of Choudayya Community here, he further said one should understand the difficulty faced to undertake cabinet expansion in the prevailing situation and whoever gives suggestion should understand the circumstances otherwise the statements would lead to confusion among the community and people of the state.

He stated that 'as many as 17 MLAs resigned to make me Chief Minister and now their community people want their leader to become Minister, it is very difficult to satisfy all of them'.
