Coastal Karnataka is becoming home for country's traitors: Anant Kumar Hegde
Karwar: Controversial BJP leader and Uttara Kannada MP Anant Kumar Hegde on Tuesday once again stoked controversy when he said the Coastal Karnataka was becoming absolutely traitor of the country.
Speaking at a convention of backward classes in Siddapur of Uttara Kannada district, the BJP MP said the traitors were taking advantage of the development here.
“We have lost Mangaluru completely from our hands. Now the whole of Coast is becoming home to traitors,” he said at the event.
“In the name of development, people from Kerala have become a major problem in Mangaluru. They are not bothered by locals, they are bothered by these people from Kerala. We must be the beneficiaries of the development of our hometowns. Kerala is taking advantage of the development in Mangaluru. And we locals are moving elsewhere and work for meager salaries” he added.
“I have spoken about development here for a long time, but couldn’t take any measures to ensure that. Now I will make sure the Uttara Kannada district is developed. We will establish a port like Mangalore here in the district, and an Airport will also be constructed here. We will transform the district now,” he further added.
