Udupi, May 16: After the Bharatiya Janata Party made a clean sweep by winning all the five Assembly Constituencies in Udupi district in the 2018 State Assembly elections, the new MLAs have vowed to give priority to the development works.

K Raghupati Bhat, who defeated his classmate turned political rival Pramod Madhwaraj in Udupi Assembly Constituency, said that this election had given him a “political rebirth”.

“I will give importance to cleanliness in Udupi city, widening of the Malpe-Manipal Road and construction of a new solid waste management plant at Alevoor,” he said.

Halady Srinivas Shetty, who retained Kundapur seat, said that the programmes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and B.S. Yeddyurappa had reached the people.

“The defeat of Pramod Madhwaraj in Udupi and B. Ramanath Rai in Dakshina Kannada showed that people had a poor opinion of the administration provided by the Congress,” he said. Asked if he was an aspirant for a Ministerial berth, Mr. Shetty said: “I will do whatever the party wants me to do.”

V. Sunil Kumar, who managed to retain Karkala seat, said that his victory was a vote for development. “All BJP MLAs wanted to promote integrated development of Udupi district. This election victory is a pointer to the parliamentary elections next year. Mr. Modi’s visit helped us. I have nothing against anyone becoming a Minister,” he said.

Lalaji Mendon, who defeated former minister Vinay Kumar Sorake in Kaup, said that he would give priority to the development of constituency.

Though the Kaup was a sensitive constituency, the people had given him a lead of over 11,000 votes, he said.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.
