Mangalore, June 4: BJP's MLC candidate D H Shankaramurthy has misused government funds for poll campaigning, alleged S P Dinesh, his Congress counterpart.

Addressing media persons at a press meet in Mangalore on Monday, Mr. Dinesh said that Mr. Shankaramurthy has been campaigning rigorously for the last three months but has hardly any achievements to boast about. “He has pressed the entire cabinet for his campaign and in the process misused funds. In spite of being elected from the constituency multiple times, he hasn't done anything constructive”, Mr. Dinesh alleged.

The Congress candidate said that if he emerges victorious in the upcoming polls, he will construct a 'Padavidhara Bhavana'.

B Ramanath Rai, MLA and President, Dakshina Kannada District Congress, said that elected representatives from BJP have failed in fulfilling demands of the teachers and lecturers in the constituency and address their problems. Increasing of retirement age from 58 to 60 has resulted in growth of unemployment and no alternate steps have been taken to solve the problem, he said. Of late, leaking of question papers too has been on the rise, he added.

Congress led governments have brought about revolutionary reforms in education such as RTE, introduction of CET, Sarva Shikshana Abhiyana, Bisioota, UGC pay scale etc, Mr. Rai said, appealing to the voters to cast their vote for Congress candidates in the upcoming polls.
