    When I read some comments with regard to the statement of Mr. Oscar Fernandes, where he only said 'City has huge potential for Growth', made me to say few words. He never said what he has done to the province from where he got elected. He only made a statement that we have the potential.

    Though I am not much aware of the activities carried out by Mr. Oscar Fernandes to the province, but people elected him three or four times and there could be some reason for it. Are you saying the voters are fools? Perhaps he is atleast honest because I never heard him misusing the post.

    For me, he is one of those few politicians who work silently for the upbringing of the country and not necessarily to the province they elected from. Yes, we see and hear many politicians, who make a big noise even if they do a small thing. As far as little I know he is working for the benefit of labour workforce, retirement benefits and for the old age people. If I am wrong please enlighten me.

    We are really ashamed to say that Oscar Fernandez was our representative in Indian parliament for decades and we only selected and elected him. This was the prime blunder by we Udipians, a big ‘SORRY’ for this.

    Mr. Fernandes, Golden words from you!!. After being the MP for 5 times and all these years your contribution to Udupi is "HISTORICAL"-like Aryabathtta's contribution to mathematics, that is "A BIG ZERO". Please learn a few things from Mr. George Fernandes who got us Konkan railway or a simple man like Hajabba who has atleast opened a school, Mr. Oscar Fernandes - they did at least something to our DK district, could you list atleast 1 of your contribution??
