Mangaluru, May 15: U T Khader, who was the Minister for Food and Civil Supplies in outgoing government, has created a new history in Mangaluru (erstwhile Ullal) constituency by registering fourth consecutive victory in 2018 assembly polls.

Mr. Khader is son of the former Congress MLA late U.T. Fareed who had been elected from the constituency in 1972, 1978, 1999 and 2004. Mr. Khader entered Assembly for the first time by winning the by-election in 2007 following the death of his father. He was re-elected in 2008 and 2013 assembly polls defeating BJP candidate Chandrashekar Uchil.

This time Mr Khader defeated his closed rival Santosh Rai Boliyar of BJP by a margin of over 15 thousand votes. JD(S) candidate K Ashraf, who had vowed to take revenge against Mr Khader bagged only around 2 thousand votes. All India Mahila Empowerment Party candidate Usman received a few hundred votes.

More details are awaited.
