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.
