Ivan-D-Souza

Mangalore, October 16: The District Congress Committee Vice-President Ivan D'Souza said that the DCC will stage protest against the State government for having failed to supply uninterrupted power to its citizens, on October 20 in front of Deputy Commissioner's office.

Addressing a press meet here on Saturday, he said the BJP government which came to power promising 24 hours power to has utterly failed to keep up its promise.

“The State government has failed to produce additional power. The government had promised to produce 10,000 MW power in the state. Unfortunately, not even a single additional Mega Watt of power has been produced so far. Since 2006, the state government had spent Rs 6,337 crore for purchasing power. This same amount could have been used to produce 1,500 MW power in the state,” he said.

The Congress will hold protest in the ward and the booth level in the district. The State government is leveling allegations against the Centre for power failure in the State. The Centre has been supplying its quota of power to the State.

Rath yathra

Flaying BJP Leader L K Advani's 'Rathyathra' to create awareness on corruption in the country, D'Souza said that if Advani had started his 'Rathyathra' from B S Yeddyurappa's house, then people would have respected the yathra.

“The 'Rathyathra' is nothing but a gimmick by the BJP. It was a waste of time. The BJP doesnot have any moral right to be in power in the State,” he added.

What benefit govt is giving us so that we can transfer the same goodness to our workers? Or are the funds only to buy and sell MLA?
