Mangalore, Dec 26: Alleging inefficiency in the BJP-led state government's functioning, the members of the newly-launched Karnataka Janatha Party (KJP) in the city held a protest in front of the DC's office here on Wednesday December 26.
Addressing the media, Mariamma Thomas, KJP state executive committee member said that the welfare projects which were launched during Yedyurappa’s reign had been stopped now due to which lot of people are facing problems.
She said that the following welfare projects have not been passed:
1. Under Bhagyalaxmi project from September 2011, bond has not been distributed to 57,780 beneficiaries.
2. Around 10 lac people in the state are not provided with monthly pension under various schemes like Sandhya Suraksha, pension for physically challenged, pension for widows and various others since March 2012.
3. Loan provided to self-help groups are not granted to DCC bank.

In addition, Mariamma Thomas said that various works are been delayed in the taluk office, DC office and various other government offices. "This is not because of the employees, it is mainly because of state government’s negligence in the matter as it is in a coma," she said.
"We are here to fight in the interest of people. During Yedyurappa’s rule, the MCC got the highest amount of funds for the construction of concrete roads, footpaths and other development work. The party for which he worked sincerely made nonsensical allegations against him and removed him from the party," she added.
"Corruption prevailing in our state in mainly due to inefficient rule of the state government. I have never seen a worse government," she said, adding that if the government continues, then KJP will hold a massive protest.
