BJP will hoist its victory flag in Mandya: MP Pratap Simha
Lashes out at Deve Gowda’s family
Mandya, October 14: Lashing out at the family of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha said that the Mandya district was deprived of development from those who do politics in Mandya sitting in Hassan.
Addressing the party workers and leaders at the party office here on Sunday, Pratap said that the district was not developed because of Deve Gowda’s family. When Deve Gowda was the Chief Minister in 1995, he had signed NICE road project aimed at developing Bengaluru-Mysuru route. But till date, the project was not completed. Every day, around 35,000 vehicles ply on the road. In order to avoid accidents and deaths, the BJP government has announced the road as National Highway and approved to develop it as ten-lane road. Already, land was acquired for the purpose at a cost of Rs 3,000 crore and work was started at Rs 2,000 crore. Apart from this, it was planned to open Passport centre in district centre, he said.
BJP candidate Dr. Siddarame Gowda had worked in the ABVP during his student life and done a good job as Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission. So, the party has given him the ticket and this time, the BJP would hoist its victory flag in Mandya, Pratap Simha said.
BJP leader Shivalinge Gowda said that the liars and actors would become the JDS candidates. The JDS has given ticket to a liar which will help the BJP, he said.
