    We should black list politicians like Oscar Fernandes, who is a member of india's most corrupted political party involved in vote bank politics. Being a most influential politician of our region, his contribution to coastal karanataka is a big zero. When there are several thousands of Mangalore-bound people in saudi arabia who are keenly waiting to fly to Mangalore direct, oscar's specific assurance to a particular community is justifying that he is doing a vote bank politics.

    Oscar! Please provide the flights from and to Mangalore & Saudi Arbia which is long standing issue. Don't try to appease Muslims in the name of religion. Direct flights from Saudi Arabia to Mangalore is a must for all the NRI's and in the mean time do something for the NH-17 roads that is converted into Kambla where buffallo's are unwilling to walk/run.

    So far no direct flight from "Mangalore to Saudi Arabia". Every corner every one is waiting this to happen by next year In-Shah-Allah. Once the direct flight starts then there won't be any problem to fly for the pilgrims too. And Mr. Fernandes's assurance for next year "Wodli Amrish Puri".
