Bangalore: Sangliana Confident of Winning with Extended Lead


Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore (SP)

Bangalore, Apr 3: "Those who are in favour of development and harmonious co-existence will vote for me. I will win the seat with an extended margin as compared to the earlier election," said Congress candidate from Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency H T Sangliana. He was speaking after releasing the election manifesto at a press conference on Thursday April 2.

"I am an honest servant of the people. Efforts are being made to finish me off by pitting communal forces against me. I want to transform the constituency into a model one," he explained.

He clarified that there were no misgivings between himself and Jaffer Shareif and that both of them would together file their nominations on Friday April 3. In the manifesto, Sangliana has spelt out his priorities as ensuring communal harmony, restricting government interference in matters pertaining to religious centres, protecting religious rights and stopping political interference in police department affairs.

    Right now, B'lore Central is 60-40 in favour of Congress. Sangliana will get elected unless Zameer who is contesting on the JDS tickets polls more than 1.25 lakh votes. Of course Sangliana's confidence stems from the following: 1. Sangliana is a clean politician and even during his days in the police, he was a no nonsense police officier. There are many youths irrepective of religion or caste who look upto him as a hero. 2. B'lore Central has 28% BC hindus, 23% Muslims and 14% Christians (Muslims and Christians in B'lore are all concentrated in B'lore Central - areas like Shivajinagar, Cox Town, Shantinagar, Viveknagar). In the past most of the 28% Backward Caste votes have gone for the Congress or JDS. Unless these 51% votes (BC Muslims) get fractured vertically, it will be bad news for the BJP. 3. BJP has shot itself in the foot by supporting the Rama Sene and indulging in communal violence in M'lore, B'lore and Udipi. I don't think many woman will vote for them this time. Who will win, only time will tell. Had Jaffer Sharief contested on a JDS ticket, BJP would have won. But as things stand today it is definitely advantage Congress.

    Sangliana is the most opportunistic politician. Congress did not bother him to take into party when BJP thought he was a good policeman. As soon as he became politician he showed his true color. I am sure people will teach him nice lesson this time
