Mangalore, August 13: “I believe in politics of love and trust, though the present political scenario is full of hatred, acrimony and enmity. And, This is my 'mantra' for success,” these were the words of D V Sadananda Gowda, the new Chief Minister of Karnataka, who was offered an exciting reception at Sangh Niketan, the local headquarters of RSS, by activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday.

Addressing a large number of enthusiastic BJP activists, Mr Gowda said “I began a state-wide tour from this Sangh Niketan, where I was inspired and learnt hard work and discipline.”

“Just like you people, I too haven't dreamt of becoming the Chief Minister. When I met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on courtesy call recently, he said that he too became politician and then Prime Minister accidentally just like me,” he said and added that his political career was accompanied with challenges.

Admiring the 'architectures of Dakshina Kannada' U Srinivas Mallya and T M A Pai, he said that he would also follow their footsteps in terms of development.

He said he would provide clean, efficient, and corruption-and-nepotism-free administration during his tenure.

Mangalore M P Nalin Kumar Kateel said that D V Sadananda Gowda has been a guiding inspiration for the young politicians. “When I was struggling to raise any questions in Lok Sabha, it was Mr Gowda who stood by me and encouraged me to speak Kannada in Lok Sabha,” he said.

“Mr Gowda was the first Chief Minister from Dakshina Kannada after the patrician of twin districts, and he will be in office for full time,” he said with full-throated enthusiasm.

Dakshina Kannada District In-charge Minister Krishna J Palemar requested the Chief Minister to sanction the grant to construct the houses for 1,064 people belonging to Koraga community in the district. He also urged the CM to release an amount of Rs 1,000 crore for the overall development of this coastal district.

BJP Presidents of eight Vidhansabha Constituencies offered a grand flower garland to the CM.

Mangalore South MLA N Yogesh Bhat, Mayor Praveen Anchan, Pratap Simha Nayak, ZP President Shailaja Bhat, Shrikar Prabhu, and Sadananda Gowda's wife Datty Gowda were among those present.

Udupi, Apr 25: Senior RSS leader H Somashekhar Bhatt received a call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday enquiring about his health.

Bhatt got emotional hearing the Prime Minister's voice at the other end, family sources said.

The Prime Minister called at 8.30 AM and began the conversation with 'Somashekharji' and spoke for about six minutes.

The 85-year-old veteran recalled how the Jana Sangh came to power in Udupi municipality under the leadership of V S Acharya in 1968 and about his association with the Sangh Parivar through the decades and his imprisonment during the Emergency.

Bhatt, former Udupi municipality president, later said it was a rare honour for him.

"I am very glad that PM Modi called and spoke to me. I shared the experience of meeting him at the Jaipur session.

Asked to take care of health and expressed concern," he said.

The Prime Minister has been calling senior functionaries of the party who worked for the Sangh Parivar in the time of adversities to build up the BJP in its present form and seeking advice from them.

He had also called in recent days former MLA Ram Bhat who was elected from Puttur in Dakshina Kannada and D H Shankar Murthy, who was former chairman of the state legislative council, BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel tweeted.
