Udupi, Feb 12: “I will not rest until Congress wins the Constituency Assembly election. The government is busy in corruption and no developments are taking up in the state. According to an intelligence report, BJP will be defeated in the upcoming local body election. BJP is in the fear of losing its power. That is why it is hesitant to declare the date for local body elections. However, he said the legislative elections in 2023 cannot be postponed" said M D Lakshminarayan, president, Congress Backward Class, state committee on Saturday, February 12 at Congress Bhavan, Brahmagiri here.

He said, “Political representation should be given to tribal society. They will be brought together in the coming days. The OBC convention will be conducted in all 224 constituencies. The government should address the problems of backward classes”.

He assured that he is available for any meeting conducted by the District Congress Committee. If a convention is organized in Udupi, he will make KPCC president D K Shivakumar and former chief minister Siddharammayya to take part in that programme. When the ‘union or organisation’ comes, they should always say ‘we’ not ‘I’, because it is a collective effort. This will help to get back lost votes in upcoming local body assembly elections.

Sankappa A, president, district Congress Backward Class cell presided over the programme.

Thukaram Shastri, vice president, KPCC, OBC cell, B L Harish, general secretary, Vishwas Dath, district president, Mangaluru OBC Cell, Shivaji Suvarna, state secretary, Ashok Kumar Kodavoor, district president, Congress, Yathish Karkera, general secretary and others were present.
