Rai, a popular leader, wins over a margin of 30K votes: Sanjeev Poojary
Bantwala, May 4: Ramanath Rai is a popular leader in the constituency and he would win the election by a margin 30,000 votes due to his development works he has done in the constituency, Assembly constituency Congress Campaigning Committee president Sanjeev Poojary.
Speaking on the preparation of the party on the election here on Friday, he said that unable to tolerate the development works in Bantwala constituency, BJP leader Harikrishna Bantwal has been making false allegations against Rai to tarnish his image. But people of the constituency were aware of the fact, he said.
Both Congress and Rai had contributed a much for the welfare of the Billava community. In view of this, Billava community is supporting the Congress. Hailed from Billava community, BJP leader has failed to contribute anything for the community. But he is speaking against Rai and Janardhana Poojary. Because of anti-party activities, Harikrishna was expelled from the Congress, he said.
Based on his achievements and works in his political career, Rai would once again win the election. He has involved in politics for the last 40 years. Compared to other constituencies in the district, Rai has done good development works in the constituency, he said.
Though some Billava leaders were the aspirants of BJP tickets in some constituencies, Harikrishna did nothing to get them the tickets. BJP has been misusing the Billava community just for achieving Hindutva agenda. But Harikrishna is not questioning this. People of the community have understood this hypocrisy. As a result, Billava community youth have been joining the Congress, he said.
Contributions of Rai
Rai and Congress were instrumental in establishing Brahmashri Narayana Guru Study Centre at Mangalore University, Deyi Baidedi herbal plant at Gejjegiri Nandanabittili, naming the BC Road circle after Narayana Guru, financial assistance to majority of Billava community halls in the district, loan waiver of Murtedar Society and others.
On the basis of the recommendation of Rai and Janardhana Poojary, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has announced the Jayanti of Sri Narayana Guru as a public holiday and the community would never forget this decision. Congress has given various positions to Billava leaders, he claimed.
Both Rai and Janardhana Poojary have never criticized another religion. They have good relationship with people of all religions, he said.
