    I would like to put accross my hunble request to Shailaja Bhat to go around Konaje area and the road from Pumpwell to B.C road . Garbage is piled up on either sides of the main road. We will be able to see the plastic waste in the City burning everyday . Unable to understand on what basis our Dakshina Kannada District has been awarded for cleanliness. I hope Shailaja will take take up this issue seriously .

    Mr Mahendra Shetty, well Yeddy is still mass leader that is why BJP Low command not able to issue a show cause notice even for formality as he destroyed the party image on daily basis.This gentleman(YEDDY)hijacked 70 MLAs to a resort and your poor DVS with tears on eyes tabled Budget with out his fellow men in Assembly!!!Is it not a height of stupidity, indiscipline,unconstitutional, dissent or incompetent.What I said was I am still sticking on it.Did BJP win in Bellary or Udupi with out him?

    Yeddy sans corruptions an asset to any party because he is an mass leader and leader of powerful community.India,never ever will become Hindu nation and it will remain as secular democratic nation.You may yell and yell like that for your SANTHRIPTI but not..Take for example U-C constituency was released from mafia and communal politics!!! Those majority voters were secular Hindu brothers you must take note of that.

    I fail to understand the theme of "Total sanitation campaign" and Nirml Gram Award for that.
    In Mangalore city itself there are many areas which are not connected to underground drainage facility.Drainage is laid sometimes back but not made operational for techinical feacibility.Accomplishment of the task is still uncertain.
