Kundapur: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah launched various development projects worth of Rs 497.97 crore at the Byndoor Assembly constituency on Monday, January 8.
The Chief Minister inaugurated the completed projects worth Rs 381.91 crore and laid the foundation stone for other projects worth Rs 109.06 crore. The Projects included PWD, Port, inland transport, education department, health department, state road transport, Irrigation department, social welfare department and the fisheries department.
Addressing the gathering CM Siddaramaiah said, “Today I have launched Rs 491 Crore worth developmental projects in the Byndoor Constituency. In this Byndoor constituency, MLA Gopal Poojary has done tremendous development works in last 4.5 years. Our government has done overall development in all the 224 assembly constituencies. Our intention is to develop all the 224 assembly constituencies and only then will the state develop.”
Mocking the Centre’s tagline of ‘Achhe din,’ Siddaramaiah said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised ‘Achhe din,’ but after three-and-a-half years, they have only come for Adani, Ambani, Baba Ramdev (Amit) Shah and Jay Shah and not for the common man.
Yeddyurappa is raising a hue and cry on the farmers’ loan waiver now. In 2010, to a question by Ugrappa in the Legislative Council, he had said that loan waiver was not possible and had remarked that the government does not have any machine to print currency notes. But now, the same Yeddyurappa is singing a new tune and urging the government to waive farmers’ loans,” said Siddaramaiah, adding, “However, the state government has waived farmers’ loans availed in cooperative banks.” PM Modi had not responded to the request of the all-party delegation from the state which demanded the waiver of the farmers’ loans in nationalized banks, he added.
Hitting back at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, CM Siddaramaiah said that ‘jungle raj’ prevails in UP and not in Karnataka where the law and order situation is under control. Yogi Adityanath is a supporter of Nathuram Godse I don’t need to learn Hindutva from Yogi”. “Yogi has jungle raj in Uttar Pradesh. Adityanath should study the figures of development indices of both Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh before making such comments, he said.
Udupi District minister in-charge Pramod Madhwaraj, MLA Gopal Poojary, Rajya Sabha member Oscar Fernandes also spoke on the occasion.
Byndoor MLA Gopal Poojary presided over the programme. Food minister U T Khader, Udupi District minister In-charge Pramod Madhwaraj, Rajyasabha member Oscar Fernandes, MLC Prathapchandra Shetty, District Congress Chief Janardhan Tonse and others were present.
