Mangaluru: The Congress will release its manifesto for the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) election on November 6. The manifesto will be released by former Karnataka CM and Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah.

The information was given by MLC Ivan D’Souza during a press conference on Tuesday at Dakshina Kannada District Congress office here in the city.

Ivan noted that when Congress was in power in MCC the administration did not hike the price of water supply to homes. “When Vedavyas Kamath and Dr. Bharath Shetty won the assembly elections they urged the authorities to hike the prices. But they are now blaming Congress for that” Ivan said.

Speaking about the leaked audio of CM Yediyurappa from a meeting of party leaders, Ivan said “The leaked audio confirms that ‘Operation Lotus did take place. This is against the democratic values. The exact reason for the disqualified MLAs has now been revealed and the real color of the BJP is also revealed” he added.

Ivan was accompanied by party leaders Sadashiv Ullal, Sanjeev, Lavanya Balla and Habibullah during the press conference.
