Union minister and Karnataka MP Shobha Karandlaje is facing opposition in her constituency from a section of local BJP workers who have asked the BJP leadership to deny her ticket in the upcoming Lok Sabha election.

Recently, a group of BJP workers from Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha constituency wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party chief JP Nadda and Union Home Minister Amit Shah asking them to refrain from granting a ticket to Shobha Karandlaje in the upcoming general elections.

The party workers have urged the BJP leadership to give ticket to a new face in the region. A significant number of BJP workers have expressed dissatisfaction with Karandlaje's performance during her tenure.
