In 2011 Mr Nellikkunnu had defeated BJP's Jayalakshmi N Bhat with a convincing 9,738 votes margin in the 2011 polls. This time the BJP had surprised all by choosing Raveesha, the state vice-president of Hindu Aikya Vedi as its candidate.

Raveesha is the thantri (chief priest) for 63 temples in Dakshina Kannada and Kasaragod, and is a patron of district temple protection committee. The RSS leadership had hoped that he would have good stead in the elections.

The Kasaragod Assembly segment has been witnessing one-to-one fight between the IUML and the BJP with the former winning the 10 elections in a row since 1977.
