Udupi: District in-charge Minister Pramod Madhwaraj has, in a letter written to the Home Department sought additional security citing threats ahead of the state Assembly elections.
In the letter addressed to Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy, Madhwaraj says that as he would need to travel to different places for the election campaigning he should be provided with additional security, to thwart any threats.
He however, said that it was left up to the state government to provide security to him. “We are travelling everywhere for the election campaign, and we should take care of our life,” said the minister.
