We are all helpless about Vishnuvardhan's memorial: Minister Jayamala
Udupi: All of us, including the chief minister, are helpless about the Vishnuvardhan Memorial. Wherever we are going to make the memorial, a dispute is arising there. We too have a pain that even after passing these many years, the Vishnuvardhan's memorial was not built. Hence, all of us are standing by Bharathi, stated Women and child development, Kannada culture, and district in-charge Minister Jayamala.
Speaking to media persons in Udupi, Bharathi's disappointment over the Vishnuvardhan's memorial is natural. I respect Bharathi's family. Bharathi says that Vishnuvardhan's memorial should be built in Mysuru. Vishnuvardhan, who was born and died in Mysuru, loved Mysuru throughout his life. His family knows what Vishnu wanted. So we have to respect Bharati's words.
Chief Minister Kumaraswamy is also from theater. So there are no differences in this matter. There is a small dispute over Bharati's land. Yesterday, Munirathna and Manju have discussed the issue. They have given their views to Bharati in writing.
Toll Problem: Delegation to the Center
All of us, including the State Public Works Minister, have decided to go to Delhi and request Union Minister Gadkari to address the issue of Tollgate in the district. The minister would be requested to exclude local vehicles from paying toll until the service road gets complete, Minister Jayamala said.
I cannot take any action regarding the tollgate. All these questions have to be answered by Gadkari himself. We have no other way than that. The company has assured to make the service road ready within March, Minister Jayamala added.
Let the Truth be known. If you read VB and like VB, please be a VB Supporter and Help us deliver the Truth to one and all.
