KASARAGOD: Tension ensues with the Congress after rumors spread that Adv. B Subbaiah Rai might leave the party following omission from candidature. The BJP is making a movie for him through the former district general secretary Adv. Balakrishna Shetty, says sources. The reports hint that the BJP leaders are trying to get in contact with Rai. Subbaiah Rai is the son of former MP and DCC President I. Rama Rai. While talking to Keralakaumudi Flash, Adv Subbaiah Rai asked how the leaders propose to solve problems after eliminating him in the last minute.

“I never went for the seat. I agreed to the activists’ request. Leaders like K.C. Venugopal, Mullappally Ramachandran, and Ramesh Chennithala contacted me and promised to solve the problems. I don’t know what problems they will solve”, Subbaiah Rai said.

It is the first time that Subbaiah Rai is seen protesting over election seat. Meanwhile, the Congress leadership believes that he won’t create a crisis.
