Udupi, Apr 17: "A huge amount of cash has been brought to the district by a helicopter in which Tamil Nadu BJP president Annamalai travelled to Udupi," alleged Vinay Kumar Sorake, Kaup Congress candidate.
Speaking at the nomination filing ceremony of the Udupi Congress candidate Prasadraj Kanchan, Sorake said, “As per my information, cash has been transported through Annamalai's helicopter to our district. If they are bursting crackers for a candidate announcement, they might blast bomb if their candidate wins. We have announced four guarantees even before the announcement of elections. We were defeated by false accusations and allegations in the last elections.
“We are also Hindus, but not fundamentalists. We even do Pooja every day. There are similarities between Christ and Krishna. In 2014, when we gave India into the hands of Modi, India was an international brand. From the state where we were not able to produce even a needle, we brought the country to an international level. Siddaramaiah is the only person rousing against Modi. It is because he has given a fair and people-friendly administration. His administration is a boon for this state. Prasadraj Kanchan has a vision for Udupi. We need to make him win. Pramod Madhwaraj lost because of his own mistakes and not due to Congress workers," said Nithyamanda Shetty, former taluk panchayat president.
Udupi constituency Congress candidate Prasadraj Kanchan also spoke.
Manifesto was also released on the occasion.
Prasadraj Kanchan filed the nominations at the Udupi taluk office.
