Honnavar: “If Shriram Kshetra Mathadeesha Brahmanand Saraswati Swamiji wishes to contest the coming Assembly election from Kumta constituency, I will voluntarily leave the constituency for him. Not just that, I will also support and work for his victory,” said Kumta MLA Dinakar Shetty.

Brahmanand Saraswati Swamiji had recently said that 50 seers in the State plan to contest the Assembly elections this time and he too was thinking of contesting from Bhatkal.

He was responding to a query posed by the media on whether he will give up Kumta constituency.
