Chamarajanagara: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said that he doesn’t believe in the superstition that visiting Chamarajanagara would make him lose power.
Speaking at the public function on Tuesday December 13, he said that in fact if he comes to Chamarajanagara District, difficulties will be removed and only good will happen.
CM Bommai laid foundation stones and inaugurated some of the development works of various departments of Chamarajanagara and Gundlupete Vidhan Sabha Constituencies. He said that the development age has started in the District under the leadership of District In-Charge Minister Somanna. “If you go to Chamarajanagara now, you will experience only political development,” he asserted.
“The superstition has been there for many years. I don’t believe in this. The people here are like pearls. If you come to Chamarajanagara District, your problem will be solved,” he said. He added, “Sutturu Pontiff said that a plan should be made to fill the lakes in the District. As per his request, the first phase of work was started when I was the Irrigation Minister. We have planned to fill 121 lakes under the leadership of Yediyurappa. Rs. 111 Crore for comprehensive lake development is earmarked. A huge expenditure plan will get sanctioned. I have visited many lakes here. Chamarajanagara has a chance to become an industrial District too,” he observed. He added, “Chamarajanagara should be developed on the model of Bidar.”
Bommai said that the Government will contribute to building an industrial township on 1000 acres of land. He said, “Government should formulate development plans and ask for votes. For many years there was negative politics. The Governments were formed based on the failures of others. This would not benefit the State or the working class. Now Prime Minister Narendra Modi is doing positive politics,” said Bommai and added, “That’s not to say there aren’t problems. It takes strength to face them. Populist Governments have come and gone, he noted.
Bommai said that we need a pro-people Government, Legislators and Ministers.
Addressing the gathering MP V. Srinivasa Prasad said that it has been 25 years since the formation of the District. Among the new districts, Udupi and Davanagere have the infrastructure, while Gadag, Haveri, and Chamarajanagara have no enough infrastructure. He said that the District needs more infrastructure and most importantly a stadium. While Prasad addressed the gathering MLA C. S. Niranjan’s followers raised their voices and obstructed the speech.
District In-Charge Minister V. Somanna intervened and said, “Srinivasa Prasad is a senior leader. He is talking about the development of the District based on experience. Be quiet, this is a government programme.”
