Bangalore: People developed fatigue with 5-time MP Ananth Kumar, says Nilekani


Bangalore: People developed fatigue with 5-time MP Ananth Kumar, says Nilekani

From Our Special Correspondent
Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore

Bangalore, Mar 14: Plunging into electioneering in full swing after resigning his post as Chairman of Unique Identification Authority of India (UDAI), Congress party’s Bangalore South candidate Nandan Nilekani on Friday claimed that the people of the city have developed fatigue with five-time BJP MP, H N Ananth Kumar, and said time is ripe to change the candidate for improving the city’s governance and infrastructure.

Speaking at the Meet the Press programme organised by the Press Club of Bangalore, the Infosys Co-founder asserted: "I am fully confident that I will be an ambassador for Bangalore. I will work with all the city MLAs, Chief Minister and Congress President to make sure that Bangalore gets the best deal.”

Stating that he is experienced in public sector, private sector and in urban governance, Nilekani said he has gained some political experience too while working for Aadhar as he had a task of convincing Chief Ministers from various political parties to implement the scheme.

"I know every detail of how a city functions so the fact that I have diverse experience… I am a clean and local candidate,” he said declaring that: People should vote for me and am confident that they will."

''Bangaloreans have developed fatigue with their incumbent 'absentee MP,’ he said adding that: ''Time has come to vote for change.”

When asked about Ananth Kumar's comment that this election in Bangalore South was a Modi versus Rahul election, the Congress candidate said: ''It is unfortunate that someone who is a five time MP has to turn to Modi to convince voters to choose him again. I think this says a lot about his achievements, or the lack of them.”

''All these years in Bangalore as MP and even serving as Union Minister in the Vajpayee government and he does not have a significant achievement that he can speak of,” he said pointing out that he was confident that people will back him.

"I was chairman of Bangalore Agenda Task Force (BATF), where I got an opportunity to go into nitty-gritty of local governance,” Nilekani said.

The Congress candidate, who graduated from IIT, Mumbai, said he has no personal agenda or furthering the cause of his family members.

''I would continue in politics ever after the elections.  Politics offers great scope for leverage and bring about change. The city needs dynamic, clean and committed MP," he said.

Nilekani, who spent three decades in Infosys, said India needed leaders of problem solvers and not agitators such as Aam Aadmy Party members.

"My job is not to provide sound bites to TV channels on daily developments every two minutes,” he said in an apparent dig at his BJP rival, who has been constantly on TV.

Nilekani said: ''I am deeply grateful for this chance to be the Congress candidate from Bangalore South and be part of the great democratic process. I am delighted that I have got the chance to contest from this constituency I was born in and where I have spent most of my life.”

He said the people Bangalore were eager for change and tired of misgovernance and unmet promises given by the current MP. ''Whenever I go, the people I meet speak about price rise, lack of better educational facilities and job opportunities as well poor maintenance of city’s roads and infrastructure,” he said.

''The people are concerned about quality of life issues such as the roads we use every day, the cleanliness of our streets, and uncovered drains.  In short, they worry about the Bangalore of today and the Bangalore of tomorrow. I want all of us to have the chances for success that I had – to get a good education and a good job, so they can provide for their family. Each of us should have the guarantee: that if you work hard, you will succeed,” he declared.

The country needed reform-minded people to bring better governance and boost the economic growth, he said adding: ''India requires a liberal and inclusive policy for generating jobs.”

"If we do not meet aspirations of the youth who constitute more than 50 per cent of the population, the country will experience backlash. We also need to take care of the interests of the poor and marginalized and ensure safety and protection to women and other downtrodden sections of society,” he added.

    Adhar is not your passport. It is your identify card. India is a diverse country where many people born on street, don't go to school, don't have an identity. This will give them Identity. In that course many people from other country would have got the card. Do you have a alternative for this. Looking at the positive part this has captured 60 crore people unique identity. Any where in the world, it can be accessed. Also, it can how many people have multiple identity with the same fingerprint. From Zero has made to success with different organization and state government. Challenges are there which has to be overcome. There are people who are having multiple voter id, multiple PAN card. These all can be tracked by this.
    Do you have any alternative for this? Once you have captured the Bio matrix even from any terrorist, It cannot be changed and he can tracked after that from anywhere in the world.

    Aadhar Card is not a Citizenship Card but it is just an Identity Card with Bio-metric data. So, giving Aadhar Card to Tibetans who have been living in Mundgod (U.Kan) & Kushalnagar (coorg) since 1962-63 is not legally wrong. Tibetans were never allowed to Vote since 1962 till now even in local Panchayat elections.

    Here is a real test for all those voters who say that they don't have a right candidate to vote. Nandan is a gem of a person and will do only right for the country. if the Bangalore voters miss this opportunity, you will never forgive your conscious and can never complain. Do not look at the parties, but look at the candidates. An honest person is a rarity in politics and take this opportunity when you have one. I wish Nandan was the Candidate of Managalore.

Nandan is visionary person and we need such people in politics to change the system. Here lets not bring Modi or Rahul. Let's have it between Nandan and Ananth. After all Rahul and Nandan will not come and solve our local issues . So we need Nandan for a Better Bengaluru.

It was our basic mistake that we should not commit this time. All Political Party's were born with good intentions, but the candidates who we Voted has spoiled them or diluted the Founders ideology, they have diverted from Desh Seva to Self Meva.

I feel bad to c us getting fooled. c guys , dont get fooled by yourself. congress has done nothing till now , the whole system has been designed by them , each tender or process of development has been designed in sharing basis , to the opposition and also ruling party .

    No matter which party comes , scams and corruption wont change ,. its all pre designed model . Eg : 100 crore project gets approved , 10 percent goes to opposition and rest percentage to ruling and other parties , 50 percent may go for development .

    i was hardcore congeess fan , but no more .. not BJP also , But i have some hope with Modi . lets c ... thanks :)

    I would never vote a guy with bad example. I just don't understand the Aadhar concept, Not worthy, absolutely worse in quality, etc. etc. This was just another scene to divert taxpayers money and make a fool out of taxpayers.
    Some made Aadhar card and it was a huge success, then Mr.N had a point to make, but the current scenario is of failure. Mr.N, is a billionaire & very business minded. He can be source of more extraction of public funds in the smartest way that no one would no.
    I mean common, Ask people working in Infosys Ltd, It is torture cell of modern IT industry. It is another govt company with private management.
    Please do not give these people a chance, it is just fun these people are having during their retirement. or as they say in corporate " New Business Development"

    People fell down from GIDDINESS after seeing your AADDHAR CARD.

    I think you are vulnerable to go to jail if probe into Aadhar Card project is conducted. That much I can guarantee you.

    Please do a survey among Bangalore infosys employees, if 5% of them vote for you, that is the big appreciation.

    Why are you contesting from congress? Reason is simple. Congress saved you from tough time in Aadhar project.

    I remember your statement in 2009, when you became UID head "The aadhar card can't be duplicated since it is going to have eye lid and finger print impression. A citizen of India can have single card".

    In 2012 one of my family members has got two cards. How is this possible boss? And when DVS was CM, in Bangalore Aadhar cards were available in his wife name, your name, DVS name etc. This was discussed in Assembly session also.

    Can you take the ownership for the failure of Aadhar Card?

    And you are propagating wrong information and your limited mindset.

    Yes, there are "Loop Holes" for Non Indians enrolling in it!!! (Especially migrated Bangladeshis misusing it... taking advantage over it.

    When they realised this idea has totally gone in waters, cong govt tried to link it to gas subsidy!!
    now they have scrapped that too.
    Aadhar benifits: -Enough and more money for one candidate to contest for LS seat.
    -Enough money to live after losing the elections.
