Udupi, Mar 21: Former union minister Dhananjay Kumar, who was earlier with BJP and had then skipped over to join B S Yeddyurappa in forming KJP, on Friday March 21 filed nomination to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Udupi-Chikmagalur constituency on JD(S) ticket.

JD(S) had on Thursday March 20 formally announced Dhananjay Kumar's candidature from this constituency.

Dhananjay Kumar addressed a press meet said that during his tenure as MLA from Mangalore constituency, he had strived and succeeded in solving the problems faced by areca growers, and also improved condition of coffee growers when he was the union minister.

"We know that JD(S) has less prevalence in this constituency, but we also know that people want a change and need a new leader to head the administration, not only in Udupi but also in other constituencies," he added.

Dhananjay further said that he has advantage over his opponents from Congress and BJP in terms of experience and political knowledge.

"People in Chikmagalur are not satisfied with the ruling party, which does not even have basic knowledge about development. A survey has shown that neither BJP nor the Congress would get majority votes, so a third party will have more chances of coming to power," he said.

"We are here to render our service to the people. People are welcome for any discussion without any restriction. BJP is full of opportunists who are taking advantage of Narendra Modi's popularity to increase their own chances," he said.

JD(S) leader Madhu Bangarappa urged people and media to support the party and their candidates.

After the press meet, Dhananjay Kumar submitted his nomination to DC Dr Muddumohan.

Deviprasad Shetty, district president, H S Manjappa, Chikmagalur district president, Gulam Mohammed, Raju, Manjappa, Shalini Shetty, Padma Thimmegowda and others were present.

    Instead Mr. Deviprasad shetty should have nominated for the MP seat in Udupi.
    Mr.Dhananjay Kumar is a waste.
    Now he started whistle-blowing some BJP internal politics, which is very interesting.

    Dananjay Kumar...doesn't even know to talk nor he has done any good work as an elected MP.
    His tongue n Poojary's tongue are uncontrollable n both of them have won as MP from Mangalore.Poojary is little good when anyone compares him to Dannajay in work.

    Nalinkumar Katil has spent all 20 crore rupees he received under MPLAD fund for development purpose only during his 5 year tenure .
    But this Dhananjay Swallowed all MPLAD fund himself, which he received during his tenure from 1991 to 2004 .
    No one should vote such a dishonest man.

    Don't fix his 'photo' firmly in the posters- O.K.? Use some 'detachable' technology! Vasanta, Dhananjaya, Tejaswini, Yogeshwara, Mulu, Jaffera, Sangli... You never know where they will be the next day ! So the 'photo' should be easily removable! Right?

    Corrupt Yeddyurappa says "making all attempt to bring Dhananjay Kumar back to the BJP fold,” These guys are good for nothing,with no ethics, no honesty, Just power & money. Jumping in the wrong track.
