Ananth Kumar Hegde must withdraw from elections: VS Shyamsundar
Bhatkal: Alleging that the BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde, who had been sleeping for the last five years, has woken up now as the elections are nearing, BJP leader VS Shyamsundar Gaikwad has demanded that Hegde withdraw from the Lok Sabha elections.
He was speaking at a press conference held at the Royal Oak Hotel.
In Uttara Kannada Lok Sabha constituency, the number of voters belonging to the backward classes including Marathas, Naykas, fishermen is large, and this time BJP should give tickets to the backward classes, Karnataka Kshatriya Maratha Maha Okkoota's president said. I have been working for the growth of BJP for the past 30 years. I worked hard for the development of Chhatrapati Shivaji's father's tomb. The Maratha community has supported Yeddyurappa to become the Chief Minister. The support of the Maratha community also contributed to BJP's 4 MLAs becoming 36 and then 110. He further demanded that this time Ananth Kumar Hegde must withdraw from the elections himself and give me a chance.
In the last Lok Sabha elections, BJP did not give a single seat to the backward class. Do not do such a thing this time. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done a lot of work in the country. But this time there is a Congress government in the state and they have to fight for victory. Belagavi, Chikkodi, Uttara Kannada, Dharwad, Bidar districts are dominated by the Maratha community. He also said that giving tickets to the Maratha community will help the BJP to win in 7 other constituencies.
Speaking on the occasion, Sri Virupaksha Swamiji of Mundagoda Salagaon Gaurammaji Mutt said Sri Rama resides in everyone's mind and heart. He further said that BJP should empower Shyamsundara Gaikwad who is taking Ramrath to every taluk, everyone respects Chhatrapati Shivaji. He said that their Kshatriya society should be empowered.
