Udupi, Feb 3: State INTUC president Rakesh Malli on Saturday, February 3 slammed Halady Srinivas Shetty for resigning as MLA before the end of his term in order to join the BJP.

Halady Srinivas Shetty, who was independent MLA of Kundapur, resigned from his post earlier this week and joined the BJP on Friday February 2.

Addressing a press meet here, Rakesh Malli said, "Halady Srinivas Shetty has betrayed the voters of Kundapur constituency by joining the BJP. During the last elections, he said he was betrayed by the BJP and would never join the party. Entering any party is his personal decision, but by going with the BJP, he has betrayed the voters who supported him and ensured his tremendous victory in the last elections.

"What development work has been undertaken in Kundapur constituency during the last four terms of Halady Srinivas Shetty as MLA? Other constituencies in Udupi district have developed to a greater extent," he said.

Speaking about his work as a Congressman, Malli said, "At present, I have shifted my residence to Kundapur. I am working hard to make Congress stronger in Kundapur region. People of the constituency are responding in a positive manner, and I am happy with their response," he said.

To a query if he was an aspiring candidate from Congress to contest elections from Kundapur constituency, he said, "Yes. I want to contest as Congress' candidate in the upcoming elections. If the party gives me the ticket, I will definitely contest."

Y B Ragavendra, Dinesh Kotian, Shankar Kunder, Roshni Olivera, Mallika B Poojary, and Derick D’Souza were present.

    Rakesh Malli,
    if you are aspirant for Congress ticket from Kundapur, visit house to house, with your party workers and see the pulse of the people. This is MLA election and to a great extent Congress/BJP party wave is fading, It is only, candidates wave which will be very much makes a big difference.

    Congress for the namesake is giving ticket for Rakesh Malli in Kundapur as they know well they he will not win. Atleast a ticket will keep him happy otherwise he will be troubling Ramanath Rai in Bantwal constituency and ensure his defeat this time. Now desperately trying to gain some mileage because of this situation.

    Opportunistic Dongis should understand that people of Kundapur vote for Halady, not because of which party he represents as he is peoples politician.

    First of all Haladi & Malli should lost in elections, Both are opportunists.
    Rakesh Malli's father Mr. Sadanand malli Betrayed Congress four years back. He ruled the president of Bantwal Town Panchayath for 30 years in Congress party.
    Rakesh Malli's brother in law ( Husband of his own sister) Mr. Shreekanth shetty Joined BJP two months Ago. ( He was the president of sajipa panchayath with Congress party.
    Dear Common man please keep away all opporunists like
    haladi /Jayaprakash Hegde/Rakesh Malli /Pramod Madhwaraj etc.

    Who betrayed WHO????
    Malli is an uneducated, unemployed GOONDA.Power broker with dirty hands and Congress money.
    Has never done any good and now has moved to Kundapur - For the sake of MLA- more power- shame on Congress .respect the hard working people in your party and give them the ticket.
    Ivan, Vijay Kumar, Khader etc are party workhorses. they should be given a chance

    Modishah karamath, Haladi became boneless chicken, under jumla party, people should through him into the gutters. Instead of receiving he might have paid in bulk to the super goondas of India just to save his dirty money.

    He joined BJP for more money - he hasn't made lots of it because Congress placed Restrictions. BJP
    told him he will make more and therefore gets to keep more.

    After-all politics and money go "hand in hand" no matter what part of India we go.

    Let Shetty make more money - and promised Minister - ship by the BIG JOKERS will bring even more
    (sack-full) money!

    I wish HIM much luck!
