Udupi, Mar 3: Is firebrand BJP leader and Member of Parliament from Udupi-Chikkamagaluru, Shobha Karandlaje not confident of getting ticket again from the same constituency in the upcoming polls? Speaking to media persons in Chikkamagaluru yesterday, the confidante of B S Yeddyurappa said that she would not hesitate to contest from the same segment if the party top brass decide to give her the ticket.

She however said that the party trusted her so far. “I hope that I will get the ticket to contest the election from the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru constituency again. Since this seat lies in the region where the BJP is very strong, the number of candidates vying for the ticket is large. But, the party leadership will take a final decision on the candidature,” she added.

Listing her contributions in the past four-and-a-half years, she had worked tirelessly towards developing Chikkamagaluru and Udupi districts. “Many railway and road projects have been completed in the Chikkamagaluru district during my tenure. I have made efforts to ensure that farmers get a good price for their produce. I helped set up Kendriya Vidyalaya in the district. A skill development centre will be established at the Chikkamagaluru district headquarters. These are some of my major achievements,” said Shobha.

On social media campaigns that have sought to project her as an unpopular figure in the Lok Sabha constituency, Shobha said that the leaders were closely observing all activities in the state, and would take firm action against dissidents. The senior leader also chose the occasion to express her unwavering commitment to the party.

“I will never work against the interests of the party, and have no quibbles with any of my leaders. Even if the party decides to give the ticket to another candidate, I will continue to work for the BJP. I am the general secretary of the BJP’s Karnataka unit, and will work with the discipline of a soldier for the party,” she added.
