Udupi: Lakshmivara Tirtha Swami, the chief pontiff of Shiroor Mutt on Saturday, April 21, submitted his nomination papers as an Independent candidate from Udupi Assembly constituency.

He is the first among the seers of the Ashta mutts — the eight mutts of Udupi which propagate the Dwaita philosophy — to enter the electoral fray.

The seer was visibly in pain while offering prayers at the Sri Kadiyali Mahishamardini Temple before submitting his papers. He was suffering from weakness and dehydration. 

Speaking to presspersons, he said he was expecting ticket from the BJP, but as it was not to be, he would contest as an Independent. But he added that he had full confidence in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah. “If I win, I will support Mr. Modi and Mr. Shah.”
