    A political vulture that used the death & assasination of so called journo friend for his political launch pad. We are happy that the surname has been changed to dissssociate from our land & connect with motherland Kerala. Better contest from Kerala, better chances.

    Prakash sir,

    Good luck to you sir..., You are an intellectual & a proud Bunta of Coastal Karnataka...,
    Let all Secular thinking REAL Hindu's support your cause & courage..., I strongly suggest JDS/Congi & other political party of national stature, who advocate & preserve REAL Hinduism extend their support by not fielding party candidates..,

    This is the time for citizens voice to be heard in the parliament...!!! In fact time is come for Hindus to fight unitedly to fight & save REAL Hinduism .., that too within Hindustan....!!! as we take one look around at our Hindu brothers.., it looks like our revered religion slowly & steadily becoming a hard line/intolerant & last but not the least a militant mind set religion..., Let us come united to fight against FEKU Hinduism...,

    jh
    jai hind..,

    Prakash Raj should contest either in Congress or JDS ticket or else it will be BJP's victory. Votes will divide.

    His only recent movie was in Malayalam as villain against Super star Mohanlal. The film was a dud!!!!
    Inspite of good script and good actors, Prakash Rai brought a bad luck for the movie.
    He will not win, bad luck follows him!

    Instead, Karnataka must have its own Regional Kannadiga Party to develop Karnataka as a whole, irrespective of cast, religion, creed etc. Its needed to defend our Karnataka or Mangalore prime Institutions, especially our great Banks.

    It is better the bhakths should vote him and make win. Because, once he gets elected he will not speak much against Modi and it will spare emabassment for bhakths.

    He should stand from a party either Congress or AAP.
    It will be hard to win independently I guess.
    Anyhow best of luck Sir.

    Actually PC Mohan of BJP won this seat second time in 2014 by a fair margin of sixty thousand plus votes. The more danger will be the state of Abdul Wahab Sharief, grand son of Jaffer Sharief who is eyeing Congress candidature from here. Minority votes are roughly 25 percent here.
    Without a party banner, it will be uphill task for Prakash Rai #JustAsking

    Any guesses how many votes will he get?
    More than NOTA?
    Will CONgress support him?
    AAP has no base here in karnatka, so they will give a symbolic support.
