Mangaluru, Aug 30: The internal bickering in Congress has come to fore once again in Dakshina Kannada with former Mangaluru City North MLA Vijay Kumar Shetty lashing out at minister for forest, environment and ecology B Ramanath Rai.

Shetty, who knew Rai since his college days, claimed in an interview that the latter was in Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal before joining Congress party.

“Initially Rai was in BJP. During Indira Gandhi’s election, he was in Janata Dal. Later he came to Congress,” said Shetty.

Reacting to the media reports on chief minister Siddaramaiah’s decision to elevate Rai to the post of home minister of Karnataka, Shetty said that the district in-charge minster of Dakshina Kannada faced rowdyism case.

"A rowdy case was registered against Rai in Vittla police station. I too have seen the case record. Since his college days, Rai had faced charges of rowdysim. Giving home minister’s post to such a person will be an unfortunate move,” he said.
