Udupi: Pictures of Rahul Gandhi, Siddaramaiah missing on Madhwaraj’s campaign vehicle


Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (EP)

Udupi, Mar 16: Udupi MLA and district in-charge minister Pramod Madhwaraj's campaign vehicle has raised eyebrows because of the conspicuous absence of Congress party leaders, including that of AICC president Rahul Gandhi and chief minister Siddaramaiah.

Not just that, the vehicle does not even have the image of the Congress party's symbol.

The absence of the Congress symbol and the party leaders' images has led some to once again question if Madhwaraj would be joining the BJP.

The vehicle is drawing the attention of the public. Despite being a publicity vehicle, it carries no details of the government or its welfare programmes. Only the picture of minister Madhwaraj is displayed prominently on it.

'My step towards development, let your step be with mine' is inscribed on vehicle. There has been no attempt made to reflect on the achievements of the government on the vehicle.

The news of the minister joining the BJP had got wings a few months ago. The minister himself had rubbished the rumours.

Municipal council member and Youth Congress leader Kanchan speaking to a media said, "Madhwaraj joining BJP is a joke. He is still in Congress and will remain in it. Stop the propaganda in favour of BJP. Madhwaraj has said several times that he will not join the BJP."

    No one will stop him if he wants to join other party. It will not make any difference to the Congress party. Money power should stop in politics. As per history of Udupi MP and MLA seats, leaders not stable in their position, lets everyone have their turn.

    people will now realise that there is anti incumbency against congi govt. Even though promod has done good work compare to others in govt but 10% commission sarkar factor will also work against him.fearing about this he may contest as independent.

    Yes... that's the capacity of Pramod... He could win the election without any Raul Wave or Sidrama's Nidde meeting.... People know him better and he does not care for others in his vehicle....

    Maybe it's a personal campaign of his fan club members. And if symbol is not used or leaders photo is not posted it will not be part of Election Commission expenditure . So it is a strategic and planned move .

    Dear Madhwaraj Sir,

    We respect your style election promotions.But never go astray.You look best as a congress candidate just like how Deepika with Ranveer.
    Good Party and a loyal candidate must go hand in hand.They are are like heart and brain of politics.
    If a heart of man joins with brain of donkey , that product will not survive much longer .
    Congress is a party of freedom.That's why today you are given full freedom to do whatever you want in your area.CM has never restricted,but if at all you were in other party ,Udupi wouldn't have been transformed so fast as of now.You had wait for green signal from mota bhai.You couldn't have your own opinion.

    Respect !!!

    Very intriguing. Politicians are politicians. Religion, culture, conscience dead but use them as long as serves to gain vote bank. Absence of party symbol, party leaders is deliberate and indicates hidden agenda for certain. Get ready for last minute surprise if not shock.
    If you take this development in the context of the recent entry of a swamy who praised Madhwaraj, it all seems to be a well planned strategy. Chanakya tactics, be sure.

    Look at the sad state of Indian politics-
    One majority cast can win a candidate from a particular constituency & take others for ransom. I agree that Mr. Madhwaraj is doing development, but this development is because people are paying taxes be it house tax, income tax or GST & one of the state where it's collected maximum is our state & we do not get proper facility. Look at the Shirva fish market. I'm sure some middle-men have made money in that. There could be various other projects too.
    Fishermen are getting subsidy & all the facility at tax payer's money & they have the capability to elect a leader whichever party it might be. Do all the citizens of coastal Karnataka & beyond get fresh fish at reasonable price. Then what is the point in paying subsidy, electronic fish market & all that.
    People, if we need to eat fresh fish at reasonable price, airport with extended runway, good railway infrastructure with electic locomotives & good highways with prompt construction then elect a party other than Congress & BJP. Give AAP a chance or Kamal Hassan's party " Ammer panther malla kelasa malpuverge"

    Kumar Vishwas is a BJP loyalist wearing the AAP uniform ? Pramod Madhwaraj is not even wearing the Congress party uniform ? Definite sign of transition to the BJP, JD(S) or becoming an Independent ?

    Madhwaraj is like Halady Srinivas Shetty. He has the capacity of winning an election without any political tag. But unfortunately, he is on a sinking boat. We need leaders like him who is not power hungry. Siddu or Rahul Photo will not help much in Udupi. Best of luck Madhwaraj.

    He is very smart. Nothing is wrong as long as he is loyal to the party.
    Wake up, guys.
    Look at the developments and the goodness of the person, not the party symbol and faces of the party members. All may not like some of the faces of the party leaders. So why should he lose votes because of these faces? All leaders must learn from him. That type of campaign worked a few years back and not now. People are smart now.

    As long as it has digital screen it can easily play Rahul Gandhi, Siddaramaiah on the screen.

    But I would like to request Mr.Madhwaraj to use this screen to educate voters about the BJP's failed policies in Kannada and Tulu. The screen should also show comparison charts during UPA rule NDA on price rise, petroleum prices, unemployment, GST, national security, corruptions under NDA, inflation and so on.
    I would also like to request no personal attacks and cheap politics. No religious talks. Only development and nation first.
    Do not answer questions to BJP's questions other than development. For one question ask two questions for BJP in your speech.
    Jai Hind
