“Men think that power should always rest with them. People with such a mindset resort to ‘Go Back’ campaigns,” said Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Shobha Karandlaje, on February 26, in response to a campaign by a few people, who wrote to the BJP high command against fielding her from the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru seat in the coming Lok Sabha elections.
“Some people did go-back campaigns in the last election. They are doing it again. I am handling the responsibilities assigned by the party with honesty and commitment. I am confident that the party leadership and seniors will respond to such campaigns,” the Union Minister said.
“The party leadership will investigate who wrote those letters and who posted them. I am confident that the leaders at the Centre will collect all that information,” she said.
Recently, a few people, said to be workers of the BJP, wrote letters to the party high command against Shobha Karandlaje. The campaign is being seen as an attempt by a section within the BJP not in favour of Shobha Karandlaje contesting from the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru constituency.
