Mangaluru, Nov 6: Former minister B Ramanath Rai said that the district Congress has decided to launch a vigorous fight against the move of the BJP-led central government to hand over the international airport here to a private firm, Adani group. He stated that the protest will be held on that day at Kenjar.

He was speaking at the special meeting of the district Congress committee held at the district Congress hall at Mallikatta here on Thursday November 5.

"The BJP's move to sell the airport, which came into being due to the vision of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Srinivas Mallya is an act of fraud played on the eople of the district. The land donated by schedule communities for the airport has now been sold to Adani. The government also did wrong by merging Vijaya Bank with Gujarat-based Bank of Baroda thereby obliterating the name of Sundaram Shetty. No one will forgive the BJP government for these blunders," he said.

District Congress President K Harish Kumar, presided. Former minister, Abhayachandra Jain former MLA, J R Lobo, former legislator, Ivan D'Souza district youth Congress president Mithun Rai, leader of the opposition in the city corporaiton council, Abdul Ravoof, women's district Congress president, Shalet Pinto, taluk panchayat president, Malar Monu and others were present.

    With due respect to all involved in this : Did we wake up too early to be too late to protest ? When there were media updates about our airport being privatized, not a single person acted or reacted. Now when everything is done, Adanis have taken over the Airport Operations, what is the use of this protest?
    It is unfortunate that Central Govt is meticulously going ahead with privatization of Govt entities one by one and opposition is sitting and watching it all, as mute spectators.
    It is time we the Citizens of this country wake up and act against these well planned Business deals.
    Some day we might get to read headlines : India is sold to... A....s and A...s !!! Welcome to our New India. We may not be really surprised then.
