Mangaluru, Nov 5: MLA U T Khader said, "State government as well as Mangaluru south MLA Vedavyasa Kamath is in coma with regards to information of city administration.”

Addressing media here on Tuesday, November 5, MLA U T Khader said, "Mangaluru South MLA Vedavyasa Kamath had alleged that during my tenure as district in-charge minister water tariff in the city corporation was hiked by corporation administration in June 2019. Even though corporation administration passed the notification, we never agreed to implement the water tariff hike.

"The decision was not brought to our notice. Let Mangaluru South MLA Vedavyas Kamath bring hold to the decision and let the next body in the corporation take a call on it,” he said.

Former ministers Ramanath Rai and Abhaya Chandra Jain, former MLA Mohiuddin Bava, district Youth Congress leader Mithun Rai and others were present.
