Bantwal, Nov 16: Former minister B Ramanath Rai has alleged that the motive of helping corporate world is hidden in the merger of profit making Vijaya Bank with loss making banks.
Speaking in the protests in B C Road in front of Vijaya Bank held by Bantwal and Panemangaluru Block Congress opposing merger of banks, he said that those things happen on orders from the prime minister. “There is a conspiracy to wipe out proud bank of Dakshina Kannada,” he alleged.
Not unparliamentary word
“Nalin Kumar Kateel being an MP has spoken forgetting his responsibility. His statement that Manmohan Singh has signed for bank merger shows his ignorance. I have not used non parliamentary word. Shiradi road work is being stopped now has Nalin spoken to the concerned department,” he asked.
‘Work will not stop whether we win or lose’
“I will not stop development work started during my term whether we win or lose. Some are saying that I am blocking all the work of the MLA. But who is blocking projects started by me like private bus stand, Padil district complex, implementation of drinking water project and Benjanapadavu sports stadium. We are not insulting workers working at Indira Canteen and trying to break its compound wall,” he said,
