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.
