Congress holds mock inauguration of Pumpwell flyover in Mangaluru
Mangaluru: Leaders, members and workers of Dakshina Kannada Congress Committee on Wednesday, staged a mock inauguration of Pumpwell flyover taking a dig at Dakshina Kannada MP and BJP Karnataka President, Nalin Kumar Kateel’s statement that he would inaugurate the flyover in the first week of January.
The mock inauguration, led by MLC Ivan D’Souza was also a protest wherein the protesters raised slogans against the BJP leaders and elected representatives. Effigies of Nalin Kumar Kateel, District in-charge Minister, Kota Srinivas Poojary and MLA Vedavyas Kamath were made to cut the ribbon of the flyover.
Speaking on the occasion, MLC Ivan D’Souza slammed Nalin Kumar Kateel and added that despite being elected as the MP of the District third time and NDA Government being in power for last six year, he has failed to bring development to the port city. He further added that the MP and local BJP MLAs speak about the development elsewhere in the country but are not bothered about Mangaluru’s development.
The effigies were also garlanded with onions to mock the government’s failure to bring development but raising the inflation in the country.
