Mangaluru: Higher Education Minister Dr. Ashwath Narayan said that when Siddaramaiah was in power in the State in the past, the Lokayukta’s powers were curtailed only for the sake of corruption. Appeasement, misuse of power and family politics were the achievements of the Congress, he mocked.

MlLA Rajesh Naik has given top priority to roads and drinking water in rural areas, he said and added that being simple and good-natured Rajesh Naik should once again come as a Minister as well as an MLA, he said
State Primary and Secondary Education Minister B. C. Nagesh said that 100 per cent development is 100 per cent development. “The credit for this achievement goes to MLA Rajesh Naik, who has done what we did not do as a Minister,” he said.
State Ports and Fisheries Minister S. Angara said that the people have given power to the party and it should be maintained through development works. Next time, the BJP will come to power in Bantwal and the State without any doubt.
