Mohiuddin Bava is an Indian politician from the state of Karnataka. He represents the Mangalore City North seat as a candidate of the Indian National Congress party in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly.

Political career

Bava was named by the Indian National Congress party as the party candidate of the Mangalore City North seat for the Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, 2013.[2] His Muslim supporters claimed that if he was not given a ticket, then Muslims might vote for other parties. He had previously unsuccessfully contested the seat in the 2008 Assembly election.[3] He won the seat by defeating his nearest rival J. Krishna Palemar of the Bharatiya Janata Party by 5,573 votes.[4]

In June 2017, Bharatiya Janata Party demanded action against Bava for distributing notebooks to students in his constituency which had picture of Bava printed on it. The president of the party's Mangalore north unit accused him of misusing political power.[5]

Personal life

Bava is the brother of businessman BM Farooq. Farooq was made a candidate of the Janata Dal (Secular) party for the Rajya Sabha elections. However, Bava said that he did not had any relationship with his brother and had not promoted any family member.[6] Chief Minister Siddaramaiah warned him for failing to prevent his brother from contesting election on a Janata Dal (Secular) ticket. However he was supported by Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President G. Parameshwara and said that Farooq had the right to take decisions.[7]

In February 2016, Bava was injured and his shoulder was fractured in a road accident. This occurred in Panambur as his car fell into a ditch, while he was on his way to the airport.[8]

Bava is also the first Indian to own a Volvo XC90.[9]
