Will make honest efforts to solve burning issues: SL Bhoje Gowda
Chikmagaluru, June 15: Newly elected member of the Legislative Council from the South-West Teachers Constituency, SL Bhoje Gowda said that though he was representing the teachers community, he would make honest efforts to solve the burning problems of the district as well.
During his first visit to Chikmagalur after winning the election on Thursday, Bhoje Gowda told reporters that though the BJP candidate has been representing the constituency, he failed to solve the problems of teachers and lecturers. This has helped him win the election. As he has won the hearts of the teaching fraternity of the constituency, he won the election and this victory has doubled his responsibilities. He would give priority for the problems of the district, he said appealing the opposition parties and leaders to support him.
Political power is not permanent. But the works done when the persons are in power are permanent. Plain areas in the district have acute water problem, while malnad region has its own problems. He would make honest efforts to solve the problems. He has already discussed with the Chief Minister and the Irrigation Minister who will visit the district soon to get the details on irrigation projects and finding solutions to them, he said.
When HD Kumaraswamy was the chief minister earlier, he had introduced Karagada drinking water problem which was not yet completed. Now, he is the Chief Minister in the coalition government and now it is the right time to finish the project. He has already discussed with the Minor Irrigation Minister on Ayyanakere and Madagadakere filling project, he said.
He also thanked all the teachers, lecturers, party leaders and workers for electing him as their representative.
JDS leaders Chandrappa, Manjappa, Bhyre Gowda, Jayaraj Urs, Ramesh, Deviprasad, Holadagadde Girish and others were present.

Badlapur accused Akshay Shinde shot dead: Lawyer of minor girls calls it 'killing of justice'
Mumbai (PTI): The gunning down of Badlapur case accused Akshay Shinde on Monday was the "killing of justice", said Asim Sarode, lawyer for the two minor girls he allegedly sexually assaulted.
Shinde was killed near Mumbra Bypass around 6:15pm when he allegedly snatched the gun of a policeman while he was being ferried in a police vehicle as part of a probe into a case registered on the complaint of his former wife.
After he shot and injured an API, another personnel from the escort team fired at him, and he was declared dead by doctors at a nearby hospital.
"While representing the two minor girls, I noticed it was becoming uncomfortable for the local politics of the Thane district and even for the educational institution where Akshay Shinde was working. Shinde's death in such a manner is killing of justice," Sarode told a regional news channel.
"Now, the case of sexual assault of the two minor girls will get sidelined. The case of these two minor girls was becoming difficult for the educational institute, as it is affiliated with a certain political family. Such a practice would lower the confidence of people in police and the judiciary," he claimed.
Sarode said he will be filing a plea before the Bombay High Court demanding thorough inquiry into the firing incident.
"Shinde's case could have brought up certain aspects that would have been negative politically for the government. I wonder how Shinde could access the gun and how he could unlock it when his hands were tied. This is political murder and is absolutely wrong," he said.
