Bantwal, Aug 24: Chief Minister, B S Yeddyurappa, blamed lack of vision and planning on the part of the previous governments in the state, for the crippling power shortage the state has been suffering from. He informed that the state government has decided to buy 1,000 mw of power for the next three years to ensure that its citizens do not suffer for want of electricity.

He also promised to set up a new police subdivision with Bantwal and Beltangady as its centre, to hasten construction of a 100-bed hospital that is pending since long, release of a grant of five crore rupees for building foot bridges, and to sanction grant for building a check dam for drinking water purpose.

He also inaugurated the new building of community health centre at Vamadapadav in the taluk. He hailed the medical officer and staff of the hospital for working to build a government hospital that looks like a private nursing home, and a model for the others in the state to emulate.

Minister, Krishna J Palemar, MLCs, Ganesh Karnik and Kota Srinivas Poojary, MLAs, Yogish Bhat and U T Khader, Coastal Development Authority chairman, B Nagaraj Shetty, zilla panchayat president, Santosh Kumar Bhandary, taluk panchayat president, Babu M etc., were present at the programme.

    In the last two and half years Karnataka is progressing downwards. We are having severe electricity problems and our roads are pathetic. My work makes me travel a lot to Gujrat, Rajastan, UP and Orissa. Once upon a time we used to consider these states as backward but believe me their highways and infrastructure is much better than Karnataka’s. I guess our Ministers are keener on plundering and developing their own pockets rather than the state. What is disturbing is these Ministers are living at our cost and now they will decide what we should eat. How atrocious.

    The demand has outgrown the supply by a huge margin!. Add to that the politics. Need to have a sound energy policy and then implement it. But alas whenever there is huge infrastucture project it is fraught with delays and corruption. Does not matter who is in power the people are really powerless. Classic definition of a very Weak democracy! Unless the mass awakens there is not going to be any hope. God bless all of us!

    This Nagesh Nayak is ever ready to praise Yeddyurappa & BJP at every opportunity. Hope CM & BJP bosses take note of his selfless service and reward him with MLC seat so that he can do so in the Legislative Council. Of course, that might lead to Daijiworld readers losing some free entertainment.
