Mangalore/ Udupi, February 26: Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda has hinted that national issues would be prime poll agenda for impending Udupi-Chikmagalur Loksabha seat, instead of local issues or problems.

Addressing the BJP workers convention organised at Kaup near Udupi on Sunday evening, the CM said that national concerns like India's internal security, intrusion by foreigners, misusing the constitutional bodies like CBI by Congress led Union government and CVC etc would be included in the poll agenda.

Mr Gowda said though Congress ruled the State for a period of half a century and JD(S) for a few yeas, development had been negligible. On the other hand BJP's rule in the state for the last four and a half years had brought in tremendous development.

Even though there was dissidence in the State BJP, Mr Gowda said, when it comes to election or development the entire party would fight united.

“Contrary to this, dissidence in Congress is itself a Guinness Record. It's leaders like Siddramaiah, SM Krishna, Mallikarjuna Kharge, Parameshwar do not look at each other's faces. Congress leaders did not even learn a lesson form the past'', he said.

Congress leaders who raise some sundry issue are not ready for discussion on the same in the floor of the house. They stall the proceedings and resort to escapism, he said.

Kaup MLA Lalaji R Mendon, MLCs Kota Srinivas Poojary and Ganesh Karnik, District BJP President Uday Kumar Shetty, Naveen Shetty Kuthyaru, Reshma Uday Shetty and others were present.

Vote for Acharya!

Earliar, after participating the 13th day programmes of Dr VS Acharya's demise, Sadananda Gowda told the media that people would caste their votes in favour of BJP in memory of Dr Acharya.

Youth Budget

Prior to this, speaking to media persons at Mangalore Airport, Mr Gowda said the youth who constitute 40 per cent of population would be given priority in the next State budget.

He said that a new youth policy would be proposed in the next to discuss all the issues pertaining to youth in the public level for a year.

Bengaluru, Jun 27: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Saturday emphasised on giving a new dimension to the city by strengthening the infrastructure and improving various other sectors including health and housing.

He was speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of the 108-feet-tall bronze statue of Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bengaluru, at the Kempegowda International Airport near here. The statue would be built at a cost of Rs 66 crore in one-and-half years.

Yediyurappa said Bengaluru has earned the fame of Garden City and Silicon Valley of India. Noting that the state capital was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world and internationally acclaimed hub of information technology and biotechnology, he said, "We need to give a new dimension to this city and strengthen the infrastructure. We have to focus on health, housing, pollution control, traffic management. Our government has taken various measures to develop the city," the chief minister said.

On Kempe Gowda, Yediyurappa said though the city did not have a perennial river, he built hundreds of lakes and interconnected them. His water management reflects on his foresightedness, he added.

"Kempambudhi, Dharmambudhi, Sampaniram and Halasuru lake are among the major lakes gifted to the people of Bengaluru. He had set up the markets called Chickpet, Akkipet, Balepet, Kumbarpet, are still the major trade hubs," Yediyurappa said.

Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, Union Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi, deputy chief ministers Govind Karjol, Dr C N Ashwath Narayan, Laxman Savadi and many other ministers were present on the occasion. The event was organised on the 511th birth anniversary of Kempe Gowda. Kempe Gowda was a chieftain of Vijayanagara dynasty who founded Bengaluru around 550 years ago.
