Voters won’t let down Khader who works 18 hrs a day: Prashanth Kajava
Mangaluru, May 5: Mudipu Block Congress president Prashanth Kajava Mittakodi opined that voters would not let down Minister UT Khader who has been working for 18 hours a day for his constituency and state, in this election.
Speaking to Varthabharati here on Saturday, he said that he is a known person in the constituency and only Khader knows about the works to be done in the constituency more than BJP and JDS candidates. So, he will definitely win in this election, he said.
Along with booth presidents, zone presidents and workers, he has been visiting every house and campaigning. Already, one round of campaigning was over and the second round campaigning is being conducted intensively with road shows, meetings and other means, he said.
But some vested interests have been hatching out a conspiracy to malign the credibility of Khader in social media. But they were not taking it seriously. Khader has developed the constituency more than 90 percent. So every voter wants him to win the election and become minister again. Locals wanted a degree college in Mudipu and Khader has got the college sanctioned two years ago and now, more than 500 students were getting the benefit, he claimed.
He has proposed Rs 174 crore permanent drinking water scheme for which, the Cabinet has already approved it. Because of his efforts, more than 22,000 people have got the title deeds under 94 C. Though it is Muslim populated constituency, Khader has never utilized this for politics and development. He has taken all into confidence without making any discrimination in whatsoever. His contribution is more in establishing peace and harmony in the constituency. The development works he has done in his tenure and BJP people are not in a position to digest it and they would not succeed in it, he said.

Sharad Pawar praised RSS after seeing how it burst fake narrative balloon of LS polls: Fadnavis
Nagpur, Jan 10: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar praised the RSS after realising how the outfit managed to overcome the fake narrative spread by the opposition in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
The opposition had claimed BJP wanted to win 400 seats to change the Constitution and end reservations, a narrative which BJP leaders later claimed hit the party hard.
On Pawar praising the RSS recently, the CM said the MVA was successful in creating a fake narrative during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
"When assembly polls were approaching, many people from diverse fields who are inspired by the RSS played their role and burst the balloon of this fake narrative. Sharad Pawar saheb is very intelligent. He would have certainly studied this aspect. He realised that this (RSS) is not a regular political power but a nationalist power. In any competition it is good to praise others," he added.
That is why Pawar may have praised the RSS, Fadnavis said.
Speaking at an interaction with senior editor Vivek Ghalsasi at Late Vilasji Fadnis Jivhala programme here, Fadnavis also said he had asked for organisational work when Eknath Shinde was made chief minister in June 2022, but senior leaders asked him to join the government.
He also said Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked him not to behave like an extra-constitutional authority in the government.
He said the decision to become deputy chief minister on the command of the party leadership earned him a lot of praise from the cadre.
After the massive mandate the ruling alliance received in the 2024 assembly polls, Fadnavis said people and party workers would not have been happy if the CM was not from the BJP.
Shinde himself agreed within minutes that the CM must be from the BJP, which itself got 132 seats and was close to a majority of its own in the 288-member assembly, he added.
On Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray meeting him during the winter sessions of the legislature in Nagpur, Fadnavis said he had announced he would not indulge in politics of revenge after becoming CM and all leaders responded positively to it.
On chances of the NCP (SP) and NCP coming closer or reuniting, Fadnavis said, "If you see the developments that took place from 2019 to 2024, I realised never say never and anything can happen. Uddhav Thackeray goes to some other party and Ajit Pawar comes to us. In politics anything can happen though I am not saying this should happen."
He praised BJP leader Arun Gujarati from whom he learnt patience, which he claimed was an important quality in politics along with the ability to take criticism.
In a lighter vein, he said, "I only get angry when I am hungry. If you see me angry then give me something to eat and my anger will go away."
