Udupi: Vasanth Salian resigns from JD(S), to hop over to BJP


Udupi: Vasanth Salian resigns from JD(S), to hop over to BJP

Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (UM/SHS)

Udupi, Mar 21: With general elections approaching, party-hopping and loyalty-shifting exercises seem to be at an all-time high across constituencies.

In one such episode, former minister and five-time MLA Vasant Salian, who contested for the assembly seat on JD(S) ticket during the last assembly elections, has reportedly sent his resignation letter to party leaders.

Over the past few days, speculations had been rife about Salian making his entry into BJP ahead of parliamentary elections. It may be recalled that earlier he was miffed with the Congress for being denied the ticket from Kaup Assembly constituency, and contested on JD(S) ticket to take on Vinay Kumar Sorake against whom he lost.

It is said that Salian, a strong Billawa community leader, held talks with BJP district president Tingale Vikramarjuna Hegde and Kaup unit president Suresh Nayak over joining the party.

Expressing disappointment with the Udupi JD(S) district president for neglecting him, Vasanth Salian has reportedly decided to quit the party. According to sources close to Salian, he has already sent his resignation letter to party supremo Deve Gowda and is waiting for approval.

In another political move, Udupi-Chikmagalur candidate from BJP Shobha Karandlaje has met Salian to discuss his next move and has insisted him to join the party to support her candidature.

A whole 5 years they will sleep and during the election, they will come out like 'Sphinx Bird'. Also, compared with Tortoise which hides its head when we see and brings out the head when nobody in the surroundings.

    We welcome Salianji for our DESHABHAKTHA Party. As I mentioned some time back, Mangalore BJP needs a good leader from Billawa caste. I think if he joins BJP, he will swing 10000 votes each in both the constituencies Mangalore and Udupi-chik. This will be a huge a advantage for us.

    As far as Mr Salian, he enjoyed all the power while he was with Congress..Sorake is one of most eligible leader Karnataka has, so there was no obvious choice. People from Kaup say he doesn’t have more than 250 votes. We donate it to Shobhakka who is struggling to retain her deposit money..

    Shobakka can have a good company if Mr. Salian joins BJP(the DESHABHAKTHA Party!!!) from JD(S).

    We wish Mr. Salian good luck .....and hope the Billawa Community of coastal Karnataka will surely understand this so called "Leader" who is in dire need of "Power" at any cost switching his loyalties from Congress to JD(S) and now to Deshabhaktha Party.... BJP!!!
