Udupi: Fighting election on political principles : J P Hegde


Shreyas H S
Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi

Udupi, Mar 24: Jayaprakash Hegde, who has been MP from Udupi-Chikmagalur constituency for two years now, is a well-loved politician, not only for his pro-development outlook but also for the simple and non-controversial image he has been able to maintain throughout his public life.

As he gears up for yet another battle, daijiworld caught up with him in the midst of his busy schedule for an exclusive interview, during which he spoke on a wide range of subjects including strategy, development, his opponents and the popular Modi wave.



Development

"My sole agenda as a contender will be to display the graph of inclusive development undertaken during my short tenure of one year and ten months," he said.

As an MP, he says he has constantly been in touch with people, responding to their pleas and being there whenever they needed him. Despite the fact that he had comparitively less time to materialize his plans for the district, he managed to tap both the state and central government to give a facelift to the region. J P Hegde is confident that the developmental works carried out during his tenure would turn into votes yet again and enable him to continue as MP to work more vociferously in the constituency.

Further delineating the development works he has initiated, Hegde said additional trains have been started conceding to the demands of the people of Udupi, Chikmagalur and DK (Mangalore Central - Madgaon Inter-city Express, Mangalore-Kachiguda biweekly Express, and Mangalore-Bhatkal DMU (Diesel Multiple Unit)). He took the initiative to push the delayed NH 66 road widening project which is currently progressing at a good pace. "I persuaded the authority and the company concerned to resume the work that had been stopped owing to a few problems," he said.

He also said he has put in efforts to resolve the problems of areca growers, even appealing to the government to hike the price of areca. "The  UPA also extended a support price of Rs 1,000 for paddy growers. I also focused on irrigation and got approval for several irrigation projects," Hegde said. Moreover, he has utilized the MP fund to the fullest during his limited tenure.

He added that he plans to focus on eco-tourism, coastal tourism and industries that are eco-friendly to generate employment.


Modi wave and anti-incumbency factor

Asked what he thought of the 'Modi wave' and if it would be a factor in his constituency, the sitting MP said, "The better word to use for Modi wave across the nation including Udupi-Chikmagalur is a 'poor dependency' of BJP on a single man, a failure to consolidate the capability of other candidates in the fray."

Terming Modi wave as a 'pseudo wave' he said, "It is unfortunate that BJP candidates have to depend on Modi to galvanize support in their constituencies."

On the anti-incumbency factor of Congress at the national level that may have an adverse impact in most of the constituencies as against the local issues prevailing in the place, he denied such factors and said, "People turn out to vote taking note of local issues and not the other speculations that are rife in most of the sections of media. They consider the credibility and judge the capability of a candidate. Even in my constituency the same electoral phenomenon would work and given my commitment and work, I am in ahead of my opponents in the political war."


Opponents

Taking on his opponents, Shobha Karandlaje of BJP and Dhananjay Kumar of JD(S), J P Hegde said, "I am not worried about my opponents as I am confident of winning the hearts and minds of the voters."

Meticulously commenting on his opponents he expressed that he would not target any candidate and stick to the political principle of contesting the elections solely on the developmental agenda. He will soon release a book that provides a list of developmental works undertaken during his tenure. Adding to this, he will also put up his manifesto to let people know his vision for the next term.
 
On whether Congress' idea of holding primaris and issuing tickets to youth cadre had proved costly, with the partly likely to lose some of its senior leaders in the state, he defended the move and said, party vice-president Rahul Gandhi believes in distribution of democracy. "This would not be understood immediately since the rejuvenating impact will take some days to strengthen the party," he said. He tried to downplay reports of Jaffer Sharief being unhappy with the party.


Communal harmony

On the issue of communal violence in his constituency, he said he put in complete efforts to maintain law and order. Though law and order in Udupi-Chikmagalur comes under the ambit of state government, he in such incidents contacted police and MLAS to bring the situation under control, he said. He further said he is not against any religion, and his only aim is to maintain peace without allowing anyone to disturb the harmony.


Halady factor

Finally speaking on the speculations surrounding Shobha Karandlaje's recent visit to Independent MLA Halady Srinivas Shetty seeking support to her candidaure, J P Hegde expressed confidence that Halady would remain neutral in the forthcoming elections since he its not in his nature to change his stance. "He clarified his decision before journalists after his meet. I will take on my opponents on development agenda and not with behind-the-scene drama as other parties in the constituency," he asserted.

    railway connections are routine process and it will not run as per j p hegde's wish.

    last time due to halady shetty factor jp hegde won .

    this time SHOBAKKA WILL WIN by huge margin.

    SHRIMAAN NARENDRA MODIJI'S WAVE ALREADY SHOOK DONGI CONGI'S .

    M J AKBAR , RAM VILAS PASWAN JOINED BJP .

    ALL TOLLYWOOD ACTORS WAITING TO MEET HIM.

    TODAY NAGARJUNA MET HIM .

    MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE IN A VIEW THAT " THERE IS NO NEED OF ELECTION AND SPENDING CRORES OF MONEY" BECOZ
    SHRIMAAN NARENDRA MODIJI ALREADY WON THE HEARTS OF VOTERS AND HE WILL BE THE PM.

    My dear voters as neutral like to say one thing. Congress or BJP nobody bothers about us. If you work hard you get your bread n butter. If you your M. P. is good n hardworking, he can do wonders n get as much resources from centre for our constituency. Whether it's congress at centre or BJP at centre it doesn't matter. J. P. Hegde has done this even as an independent candidate from Brahmavar in the past. He has been appreciated by all parties for his good job. You can get him even with a miss call. But after winning Shobakka will never bother to see us. Bcz she had changed 3 constituencies. Already. Never bothered to see her past constituency voters are dead or alive.

    Mr. Jayaprakash Hegde is a good man, a clean and non corrupt person, but he has not contributed a lot to the Udupi-chikamagalur constituency, he has not even cared to visit areas of Chicmagalur which comes under his constituency, only congress leaders and congress supporters are potrioting him as great achiever, which is totally wrong, since he has been an MP for 2 yrs we can forgive him for that. Even by saying that he is the best candidate among three (Shobhakka, Dananjay Kumar). He is a good candidate in a wrong party, he should be in AAP or as a Independent candidate. He will definitely win, but not by a huge margin, as the contest will be much tighter than predicted, as per the research Ms Shobakka will give a good fight being a woman and a Vokalingas, especially in Chicmagalur will back her, in Udupi it may be 50/50, but Mr. J.P. Hegde will be ahead of her.
    Anyway, we wish you all the best Mr. Hegde, you are the best candidate deserve to win.
    Jai Hind, Jai Karnataka and Jai to Mr. J.P. Hegde.

    Yes. JP Hegde look like winner.But not very confident, because Congress is loosing ground plus JP Hegde not able spell out his achievements in two years in spite of his govt in centre. Increasing and changing train services cannot be considered as an achievement, if he taken approval for coach factory then we can say he has done something.

    @ India First, India
    Why there is Kolavery (anti-congress wave) among youths???

    I don't rate past 10 years, Congress rule 'Excellent'. But, Congress has implemented the 75 per cent of their last election agenda & performed decent rule.

    Main UPA Govt failure being discussed today is Economic downfall. Just name nation, which found remarkable economic growth in past 10 years? Even most developed US is facing financial crisis.
    Regarding corruption, NDA ruled some years. What was their contribution in stopping curruption? Did you see clean governance by them? Did they brought back black money deposited in Swiss bank as promised (even today FEKU claims, he will do it!)?

    All are same boss... Congress is corrupt. But BJP is corrupt plus party spreading hatred or disharmony.
    Corruption became part of our life & we all are used to it. But no one will accept disharmony/unrest.

    Will you not laugh at this :

    Since Shivrajkumar is going to campaign in Shimoga, frustrated shimoga congis have requested DC to stop screening all Shivrajukumar movies in the district.. Ha.....Ha.....

    Did JDS ever demand ban on screening of Ramya and Ambareesh's movies in Mandya?

    It will be very difficult for any opponent, especially the likes of Karandlaje, who the voters know as not a worthy contender, to win over Mr. J. P. Hegde, who has worked in the best interest of the people of the area and shown his ability with the good work he has done. He is a Man of his words and did justice to the faith people of the area vested in him.
    He is not bombastic in nature like his opponents with tall promises, but does everything within his capacity as MP for the betterment of facilities for the people of the area.
    People have visually seen the work he has done.
    From the way he is preparing for the coming election, one can see how well organized he is.
    He will lay before the people the work he has done for his constituency and will lay before them his plans for the future if he is re-elected. He does not need any kind of "Wave" to be re-elected!!!
    He wants only people's goodwill.

    The people of the constituency will not even think twice to vote for him and do not want to lose such a gem of a person ever.
    Mr. J. P. Hegde, wish you success along with good health and peace of mind.

    A win is a win even it may be by one vote..why there should be need of any margin?.People contest to win not for margin...

    A looser. Compared to Moily and Oscar he is better. But this time no chance for him.

    He might me somewhat good person, but not his party.

    In fact it is JP Hegde, who wrote new history in electoral record when BJP's wave spreading whole of Karnataka.JPH NEED NOT ANY PARTY TO BECOME MLA Or even MP...He is a man of words and his hard work and service will vouch him for landslide win against Shobakka?I bet JPH will win a margin of more than one lakh votes(Last MP election I predicted 50 000 margin before filing nomination which came as it is!!!(it is on record in daijiworld)There are no waves in Karnataka and win win chance of JPH will 101%(for DP)

    Those who like AAP like people or candidate, here is the candidate of all sections of the society and even I could say ALL PARTIES ARE UNANIMOUS IN HAILING JPH's CANDIDATURE even though in public, but certainly in private.If the people of Udupi-Chik voters unfortunately think otherwise that would be a black day for democracy. ANYhow,JAYAPRAKASH HEGDE WILL WIN WITH A MARGIN OF MINIMUM one lakh votes.An pro development,social worker,DARLING OF A COMMON MAN and committed politician Mr JP Hegde deserves ASHIRVADA of his constituency....
