Mangaluru, Mar 14: “Hindutva is my commitment and development is my priority,” said Indian army veteran and entrepreneur Captain Brijesh Chowta after the BJP high command announced a ticket to him from Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha constituency.
Known as a BJP stronghold, Nalin Kumar Kateel has served as the MP of this constituency for the past 15 years.
Soon after the announcement was made, 42-year-old Chowta, who is also the BJP state secretary from Dakshina Kannada constituency, sought the blessings of his parents and went to Shree Sharavu Mahaganapathi Temple and visited the war memorial to offer tributes.
A BSc graduate from St Aloysius College, he completed his executive business Management program from the Indian Institute of Management, Indore.
He was commissioned into the 7th battalion of the 8 Gorkha Rifles and served in counter-insurgency operations in Assam and Manipur and was part of Elite Ghatak team. He also served as the adjutant to the battalion. He has been associated with the BJP since 2013. He is the president of Mangaluru Kambala and organiser of Mangaluru Lit Fest.
“Humbled and grateful to our party seniors led by our commander-in-chief PM Narendra Modi for giving me this opportunity to be our party’s candidate and representative of his work and vision in Dakshina Kannada. I pledge to continue to work with even greater rigour for the welfare of our region and people driven by the mantra of ‘Nation First’. I humbly bow down to all our karyakartas & everyone who stood by me & toiled with me to make this happen. Our task has just begun, as we work towards making Dakshina Kannada the number one in the state,” Captain Chowta said on X.
Kateel welcomes change
Meanwhile, sitting Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has welcomed the party’s decision to field Capt Brijesh Chowta as the BJP candidate for Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha constituency.
He said the change aligns with the party’s strategy of fostering new talent to broaden its base and activities. He hoped that he will win by a margin of more than 3 lakh votes.
Soon after the list was announced on Wednesday, the three-time MP told reporters that he has brought projects worth about Rs 1 lakh crore during the last 10 years, under the Modi government.
He thanked the party for giving him a big responsibility of leading the party in the state. “I have worked honestly,” he said.

Both this group and Hindu Group who believe in moral policing.
Please go to film theaters and stop showing all love and romantic films.
You can not find single film without so called HERO & HEROINE.
People flock into the theater with family paying lot of money.
If you people are really concerned of misbehavior of the public, then please top of these films in the theaters. Then You will be succeeding with big result instead of going to correct small group with 4 persons.
This is the place where you have to focus. You will have massive result and satisfaction. Otherwise it is YOUR DOUBLE STANDARD.
Viren....what you have to say about your uncultured chaddi Bros who involves in similar act very often?
VIREN ....both attacks are same ...but regret and support are different here as you know ......

Umma gang started giving chumma to CD. But here people forgot to comment about the real topic: That is madrasa graduates trying to implement sharia law in India by creating ruckus in resprot.. hahaha
Many of my comments sent to other news portal in Mangalore always rejects the news which is anything against their interest. Some time I too think that it is supporting some organization.
Here It is Coastal Digest , even the comments against them they simply publish (example is above Vimala Nasargi's comment.. Hats off CD.
@ VIMALA

Thank god. The victims, the attackers and the police-all are muslims. no chance for communal clash.
Ham kare tho balathkar; thum kare tho chamatkar.
If Bajrang Dal activists do same thing it will be called \immoral rowdism. But msulism will be called \"moral police\"..
This news portal should change its name from coastal digest to communal digest."
