Udupi, November 13: Opposition leader in the Karnataka legislative council Motamma has taken the BJP government to task for failing to maintain motorable roads.

Speaking to press persons in Udupi she said, the condition of roads connecting taluk centers like Karkala and Kundapura in Udupi district had been in a pitiable position.

The BJP government, which had been chanting the development manthra, had totally failed in maintaining this basis infrastructure, she said.

“When questioned, Deputy Commissioner of Udupi, he admits to have got Rs 4 crore for flood relief in Udupi district last year and that had not been utilised. This year another Rs 2 crore had been released under the calamity funds. But not spent. Villages in Shirva region had been affected by the scarcity of drinking water. It is a surprise that a district of which Dr VS Acharya, the number 2 in the state cabinet is the in charge ministers has such problems”, Motamma said.

“No needy beneficiaries were given house sites, but the BJP leaders and persons in their close circle were given away government key lands, making a clear case of favoritism”, Motamma added.

Alleging misuse of power by the BJP Motamma said, “If a beneficiary in Chikmagalur wanted an application for benefits under the Suvarna Bhoomi yojna, he shall approach the MLA. Likewise, for an application for Arogya Card in Udupi CMC, one shall beg before a BJP Councilor and not the respective horticulture department or the CMC Commissioner. Is it not misuse of power? She questioned.

Former Minister K Jayaprakash Hegde, Udupi Block Congress President Pramod Madhwaraj, District Mahila Congress President Veronica Carnelio, Shyamala Bhandary, ZP member Mallika Balakrishna, State youth Congress secretary Amrith Shenoy, Yathish Karkera and others were present on the occassion.
