Even in my constituency (Ullal), development works have undertaken be it education, roads, water or distributing title deeds.

“During the last one month, the opposition is making fake allegations and misrepresenting many issues. But they will not be successful in this as our state is not Uttar Pradesh. People in Mangaluru will live in harmony and in my constituency people live in unity. We will not defend any culprits and go according to the law. Campaign should be done based upon truth and then people will decide. We are not here to defeat anyone but to win,” he said.

Speaking about Kathua rape case, Khader said, "This incident is a black mark on our country and has made every citizen to bow his head in shame.
