Udupi, Jul 7: “We should not expect anything in return for favours by us. The service of mankind is equal to the service of the almighty,” said KPCC state president D K Shivakumar.

He was speaking after distributing kits to 1,000 people belonging to the poor and medium class by the Congress campaign committee and D K Shivaram fans association on the first anniversary of taking over charge as KPCC president at Mathura Inn on Tuesday.

“Congress activists have come forward to serve the people. Distribution of kits to 1,000 people is commendable. Many families have lost their earning members due to Covid-19. Congress workers should make sure that compensation announced by the government reaches them. The applications for them are available with the Congress district president,” he said.
