Bantwal, Jun 3: Dakshina Kannada has neither seen a minister as horrible as Nagaraj Shetty nor will see anyone like him in future, said former minister and Beltangady MLA Vasant Bangera on Tuesday, June 3.
 
Speaking at a function organized by the Congress to thank party activists who worked for the victory of Ramanath Rai, Bangera said that Shetty did not hesitate to felicitate criminals in jail.

He had totally forgotten the needs of the district and behaved like an arrogant person. Hence, voters sent him back home, remarked Bangera. Shetty was busy tarnishing the image of Rai through false propaganda, and this eventually backfired, he opined.

Thanking the voters and party workers, Rai promised to work in accordance to the expectations of party activists. He also assured that development work in the constituency would continue unabated.
 
Rai expressed his gratitude to the voters of Bantwal constituency where he has won five times and lost only once. He said priority would be given to maintainance of peace and harmony in the area. No organization associated with the Congress creates animosity between religions, Rai asserted.
 
Sankappa Rai, former president of zilla parishad, presided over the function.

MLAs Abhayachandra, and U T Khader, Congress leaders Harikrishna Bantwal, K S M Masood, Maruti, Narayanappa, Moiddin Bava, and Dr Raghu were also present on the occasion.
