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.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
