Udupi, Apr 10: Former police officer Anupama Shenoy has expressed her desire to contest the May 12 Karnataka Assembly elections from her native place Kaup in Udupi district.

Speaking to media in Bengaluru, she announced the first list of 15 members from her Bharatiya Janashakti Congress who will be contesting the elections. She said the EC has approved her party’s symbol as the ladies finger.

"I have decided to contest from Kaup constituency. The final decision would be taken soon after holding talks with other leaders,” she told media persons.

She said that apart from fighting against corruption and ensuring rule of law, her party would encourage youths with leadership qualities to come to the forefront.

A former Deputy Superintendent of Police of Kudligi in Ballari district, Shenoy had floated Bharatiya Janashakti Congress in November 2017.

Shenoy, who served in Kudligi sub-division, was abruptly transferred, allegedly for not attending a call from the then district in-charge Minister P.T. Parmeshwar Naik and also for taking on the liquor lobby head-on. Though she was reinstated, she chose to resign and enter politics.

Though she met several BJP and RSS leaders after resigning as police officer, she reportedly did not get expected support from them. Later, when she criticised BJP, she had to face the wrath of troll brigade of the saffron party.

Welcome to Politics but Kaup is not suitable place for this time. Try from Karkala or Kundapur
