"Modi privatized Mangaluru Airport, merged Vijaya Bank. Why should DK people vote him?" Kumaraswamy
The Karnataka CM was speaking at Mangaluru International Airport after arriving in the city
Mangaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy, who arrived in the city on Sunday to campaign for Cong-JD(S) alliance candidate in Dakshina Kannada constituency Mithun Rai, questioned the developmental work done in the constituency by Narendra Modi led government.
He was speaking at the Mangaluru International Airport after arriving in the city. He questioned “What has Narendra Modi given to this constituency so that people should vote for BJP only by having Modi agenda in their minds? What has he done in the five years? Privatization of Mangaluru Airport? Vijaya Bank merger?”
“People in BJP have been lately urging voters in Mangaluru to vote for BJP for the sake of Modi and not for Nalin Kumar Kateel. But why should people vote for Modi? What has he done for the constituency? The Mangaluru International Airport which was making profits was handed to private entity. The Vijaya Bank which was also making profits unlike other banks was merged with Bank of Baroda in Gujarat. So why should people vote for Modi? It is about self-esteem of people of Mangaluru” he added.
Modi will be arriving in Mangaluru on April 13, on the same day Rahul Gandhi was also scheduled to land in the city. However the dates have been slightly adjusted, he informed.
“I have held meetings with Minister U.T Khader, Jayamala and other leaders of the Udupi-Chikmagalur and Dakshina Kannada constituencies to make sure that candidates here sweep the election. We have so far received good response in both the constituencies” he stated.
Dakshina Kannada District In-charge minister U.T Khader and Udupi District In-charge Minister Jayamala were present along with the CM at the airport.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
