Mangaluru: Former minister and current MLA UT Khadar registered its fifth consecutive win in Mangaluru constituency, by securing 83,219 votes. Khader maintained his lead since the counting of votes began at NITK Surathkal on Saturday morning and won by a margin of 22,790 votes.
In fact, confident of victory, Khader was seen playing cricket and football with children in Ullal and meeting his supporters. Since he served as the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, he is expected to get a prominent position in the state cabinet.
Khader told reporters near the counting center that this election is about truth and lies.
“This election battle was about ignorance and knowledge,” he said. On the results of the state, he said that the public is troubled by inflation, corruption, hatred, discrimination and oppression and has shown the BJP its place.
He said, ‘People’s pain is reflected on the ballot paper. Karnataka is not like any other state. The public looks at various aspects before voting. In response to a question, he said that he had received a call from the party leadership asking him to leave for Bengaluru immediately after the results were declared.
During this time the BJP Satish Kumpala Secured 60,429 votes. The BJP hoped that it would benefit from the fight between the SDPI and the Congress. Sources said the SDPI has been working hard to establish its presence in the constituency, Khader campaigned and his team worked hard to ensure his victory. The constituency is dominated by minorities, and Khadar’s family has held the fort here for the past two decades. Although SDPI campaigned fiercely this time as a party candidate Riaz Farangipete managed to get only 15,054 votes. Meanwhile, AAP candidate got 334 votes and Deepak Rajesh Kolho (Independent) got 243 votes. Around 720 NOTA votes were polled in the constituency.
In the 2018 election, Khader secured 80,813 votes, while BJP’s Santosh Kumar Rai Boliaru secured 61,074 votes, indicating that Khader has improved his performance this time.
