While names of candidates for three assembly constituencies in Dakshina Kannada district are yet to be announced, it appears that the ticket allocation for Puttur is now almost finalized.
There were reportedly many ticket aspirants from Congress, including former MLA Shakuntala Shetty and Kavu Hemanath Shetty. However, Ashok Kumar Rai was ultimately selected as the candidate for the constituency.
Interestingly, Rai had previously attempted to secure a ticket from the BJP on two occasions before switching to the Congress party.
