Mangaluru, Apr 27: Karnataka Rajya Kshatriyara Okkoota president J Krishnananda Rao has slammed Bharatiya Janata Party for denying ticket to former minister Krishna J Palemar. 

Speaking to media persons in the city on Thursday, Rao said that the saffron party’s decision is not just an insult to Palemar, but it’s a case of cheating by the BJP to the people belonging to backward class.

He also warned that the saffron party will face the wrath of backward classes and its impact can be seen on May 15, when the results of Karnataka polls will be announced. 

Stating that Palemar was successful in preventing any communal violence during his tenure as MLA, he said that the Okkoota has resolved to boycott the elections.Noting that the BJP had assured Palemar a seat and advised him to gear up for the elections, Rao said that some other candidate was given the ‘B’ form in the last minute.
