People decided to re-elect Rai: Chandrashekar Shetty
Bantwala, May 6: As there is a good environment in Bantwala Congress in the district, people of this constituency have decided to re-elect Ramanath Rai by a margin of more than 25000 votes, said zilla panchayat member Chandraprakash Shetty.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, he said that people have identified the good works of Rai in the constituency. Apart from this, Rai has reached the development works introduced by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to the people. Following this, the people have decided to re-elect Rai again.
Youth are appreciating the development works of Rai due to which youth have been supporting Congress and Rai. Only Rai could develop this constituency, he said.
BJP people have been alleging that Rai has stopped mid-day meals being supplied by Kollur to Kalladka and Punacha school. There are 333 aided schools in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, of which the government has provided mid-day meals to 331 schools. But Kalladka and Punacha schools have rejected it. But there is a record about getting teachers salaries, Ksheera Bhagya milk, uniform, bicycles and other facilities, he said.
There is nowhere money is being given to school for providing food to school children. But it was came to government notice that both Kalladka and Punacha schools have misused Rs 4.50 lakh Kollur temple money due to which, the government has stopped this mid-day meals. But keeping this as main reason, the BJP leaders have been making false allegation against Rai. People would not believe such allegations as they know the truth, he said.
In its manifesto, BJP said that temple revenues should not be used for other purpose. But the same BJP has misused the temple revenue. This school also has got mid-day meals building. But the school management itself has written a letter that it would not require mid-day meals and how could the government provide the benefit, he asked.
The government is ready to provide mid-day meals even today and it was discussed in the zilla panchayat meeting. Education department officer was directed over this issue. But the management of the school are not coming forward to it, he said.
Two BJP leaders have opposed taking funds from Kolluru temple. Now they have using this for political gains which is condemnable. In the name of protest, they are taking the school children into street and misleading them, he said.
Let the Truth be known. If you read VB and like VB, please be a VB Supporter and Help us deliver the Truth to one and all.
