Mangalore, July 22: BJP is directly involved in the leakage of the Lokayukta report, alleged KPCC Secretary Ivan D'Souza in a press meet on Thursday.

The BJP government knew that they will lose power once the Lokayukta report is published, hence they have played a game of leaking the report beforehand so that the report loses its significance, he said.

Lokayukta has also agreed that former MP V Dananjay Kumar has presseurised him with regard to the report. BJP government has played a game, to retain their power and immediate action should be taken against those involved in the leakage scam. A criminal case should be filed against them, said Ivan.

MCC is going to implement the 24X7 water supply, similar to the Hubli pilot project. With this, the water supply project will be given to private companies. This will increase the water bill three times more than the present and cause a burden on the common man. It will also give an opportunity for corruption, said D'Souza.

He further added that if MCC continues with the privatisation of water supply, then a massive protest will be held by the Congress party.

Youth Congress Zonal Returning Officer Zudson Bakka informed that 16,500 persons have enrolled as Youth Congress members in the Mangalore parliamentary constituency. The scrutiny is going on at present and details of the members have been published in.

The Lok Sabha Returning Officer (LRO) will be touring the Lok Sabha constituency and spending a day in every Assembly constituency.

The members may approach him to check their names on the list. The LRO will also accept corrections to the list if a member has been placed in the wrong booth or assembly or has been missed from the list due to mandatory fields not been filled in his/her membership form. Corrections will be accepted only for the duration of the scrutiny.

All members seeking corrections to the voter list must produce the original membership receipt and documentary proof. The scrutiny schedule for Mangalore will be held daily from 9 am at different Block Congress Offices. On July 22, it will be held at Ullal, July 23 at Moodbidri, July 24 at Bantwal, July 25 at Belthangady, July 26 at Vitla, Puttur and July 27 at Sullia Block Cong Office.
