Was Surathkal toll merged with Hejamady toll as protesters jolted your car, Hariprasad asks Kateel
Mangaluru: Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council B K Hariprasad has mocked MP Nalin Kumar Kateel for the merger of the Surathkal toll with the Hejamady collection, asking Kateel if it was in revenge against the locals who had jolted his car during a recent protest.
Tweeting about the matter on Saturday, the MLC said that, while the residents of Coastal Karnataka have been fighting round the clock against the tollgate constructed illegally in Surathkal, Kateel, who is also the BJP state president, had been trying hard to retain the tollgate.
Hariprasad has asked Kateel, “Would you dare to disclose your desperate attempts in secrecy to retain the Surathkal tollgate?” also criticizing Kateel for lauding himself for the cancellation of toll collection in Surathkal, after which, the fare was merged with the Hejamady toll.
“Why do the BJP MP and MLAs in Coastal Karnataka support tollgates? What is your share in the toll collected?” Hariprasad asked, also calling the MP ‘shameless’ for having ‘betrayed’ the people and then praising himself.
The MLC opined that it was time to remove the MP from power, just as the tollgate in Surathkal was removed.
