"This is the first time that I am conducting a conference as PA of MP. I would have answered if MP had conducted the news conference. This information has been provided by his personal assistant. Therefore, I cannot answer. The information is far from the truth. The information can be obtained in RTI. I do not know where the works at Keradi are taken up. Come to Shirur, the ideal village of the MP to see where the developmental work is taking place.
