Poll campaign heats up as DVS, Eshwarappa lash out at Indira Gandhi

February 29, 2012

Udupi, February 29: The campaign by Bharatiya Janata Party for the impending Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha constituency has heated up with Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda and State BJP chief K S Eshwarappa lashing out at former prime minister Indira Gandhi.

Addressing the BJP workers convention here on Wednesday, Mr Gowda said neither Congress party nor its leader Indira Gandhi had fulfilled the promises made by latter during her election campaigns.

“Indira Gandhi had assured to give a railway line from Kadur to Chikmagalur. If at all the dream is coming true by the next January, it's only because of efforts of former Chikmagalur MP late Srikantappa and me. We want to extend it till Sakaleshpur”, he said

Mr Eshwarappa on his part said that leaders like C M Ibrahim and Siddaramiah when they were in JD(S), had been calling Indira Gandhi an international prostitute. However, the same leaders after joining Congress started accusing BJP leaders and praising Indira and Sonia, he said.

Law Amendment

The Chief Minister said that his Government had been amending laws to take stringent action against the land grabbers.

He said Union ministers of Congress party who represented Udupi and Chikmagalur region did not strive for the development of the region.

He questioned what was the role of Congress leaders in the development of fisheries harbors of the Karnataka coast? Whatever developments taken place in the harbours its due to the efforts of the BJP MLAs and MPs, who took up a struggle at the government level to get it done, he added.

Bangalore South MP Ananth Kumar promised in the name of late Dr VS Acharya to make their candidate V Sunil Kumar win in the elections.
