Kaup, 27 February 2012: The by election of Udupi – Chickmagalur will take place based on the national point of view, said Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda. Speaking in the party workers conference here he said that, the political issues taking place in the state will not have any effect on the election. The central government is not ready to have cooperation with the state BJP government. When the grants were asked for the development of the coastal ports which fall under central government, the grants are not given; finally the state government has reserved rupees 100 crores for this. The voters have to consider all these, he said.
It is true that there are some issues taken place in the state government, but that has not stopped any development work in the state. There have been cases registered on BJP leaders, but there are cases against Congress leaders also. Regarding the congress comment that there are groups in BJP, he said that, there are so many groups such as S.M. Krishna group, Dr. Parameshwarayya group, Siddaramayya group and so on which can be a Guinness record.
In the program local MLA Lalaji R. Mendon, Vidhana Parishad Members Capt. Ganesh Karnik, Kota Shrinivasa Poojary, BJP District President Udaykumar Shetty, Women President Reshma Shetty, Jilla Panchayath President Katpadi Shakara Poojary and Kaup Constituency President Kutyaru Naveen Shetty were present.
