Udupi, Mar 26: The district Congress committee on Wednesday March 26 held a party workers' convention at Royal Garden, Kalsanka here.




Addressing the gathering, union minister Oscar Fernandes said, "The mid-meal programme was initiated by Congress leaders like Sonia Gandhi. They planned to provide meals not only to children but also to their families. The government has provided rice for the poor at Re 1 Congress has also fixed the daily wages at Rs 135 per day per person."

"This election is a game-changer. We have only one option before us and that is winning by a majority in the elections. Only then will it be possible to fulfil Gandhiji's dreams for the nation," he added.

Lok Sabha candidate Jayaprakash Hegde in his address said that a few students of Kuvempu University had requested him to set up a branch in Udupi and their wish was fufilled in no time.

"BJP always tries to find faults with the Congress. They cannot see the work done by the Congress," he added. He also countered the allegations from the opposition regarding areca ban and said that if any person or party has evidence, he is ready for an open discussion.

Listing out the development works during his tenure, he said gave imporatance to railway and tourism development and also got a Rs 45 crore grant for transport development.

"BJP does not know the importance of country boat fishermen. We have also resolved many problems related to coastal fishermen. There is a need to bring advanced technology into fisheries," he added.

District incharge minister Vinay Kumar Sorake, minister Abhaychandra Jain, district Congress president Gopal Poojary,  former minister B A Mohiddin, Vijaykumar, former MLA Gopal Bhandary, Motamma, Srinivas Chikmaglur and others were present.

    Oscar Mamu, yes, why not majority once again for CONGiss so that your Party can increase the tax rates and distribute freebie to your reserved voters. Shameless person, can’t even finish our own regions road networks even after becoming Minister for Road & Transport and dreaming about majority!!!

    Gone are the days when a Single party used to get absolute majority and loot the country single handedly for 5 years without any hindrances. Now it is the time of coalition govts and looting the country jointly. Loot ke Khao - Baat ke Khao.
    Only AAP can stop this.

    As per Mr. Oscar Fernandes Congress government has provided rice for the poor at Rs. 1.

    It is better is he says in this way: "From the last 67 years congress government has kept you poor to receive the rice at Rs. 1"

    Stany Dsouza, Shanthigudde, Shirva instead of 1 ruppee rice they can provide education and employment to the people, but they dont want to do that because if our people become educated then congress might be scared that they may not vote them. Hence, they are providing 1 rice and keep people poor and lazy.

    See the secular forces .motamma,oscar,sorake,vijaykumar, mahesh etc all communities are there !!and look what for 65 years we have done
    QUIET REVOLUTION ..during the last 60 years India has gone from zero to 16 IIT's , 13 IIM's, 6 AIIMS and around 10000 ITI's, life expectancy is rising, infant mortality drastically down , deadly disease like malaria , polio etc have been nearly wiped out , from a net importer of food grains to an exporter, more then 200 million alleviated above the poverty line , from few land lines to a mobile penetration of 500 million covering almost every citizen ,no identity to identity for 600 million with AADHAR, National and state highways totaling 3 lakh miles , 2 lakh plus ATM'S, numerous e governance initiatives like online filing of income tax or property tax, which has made life easy for many citizens . 80,000 kms of Railway network , metro trains , LPG to almost every family in INDIA, 90% of the 6 lakh villages now have electricity..list goes on

    On the policy front key policies like RTI,RTE,SSA and Mnerga have slowly but steadily transformed the rural INDIA . Mnerga has inspired an increase in rural consumption by 50 % in food, 20 on clothing and 10 % on education. This story has not been told well by UPA.

    The 60 years of congress rule has benefited the rich and poor . we have world class highways and airports for the rich and a choice of cars to choose from anywhere between 2 lak to 2crores , the telecom sector has revolutionized the way poor can actively participate and be part of large eco sytem , space launching capabilities all this does not happen over nite and it has taken us a good 60 years to reach to this stage and the achievements as nation the list goes on ..

    what went wrong in the few years under UPA was its failure to curb corruption large scale and few beneficiaries has raised a question mark on UPA WITH A MAJORITY THEY WILL GET BETTER ..

    We should be ashamed that it took 60 years for India to reach here because of Congress.Thats why people still run to Gulf countries like Dubai, which grew in last 10 years and today are years ahead of India.Need to think in an broader way and catch up with the world on an EMERGENCY basis .

    Rest of the issues are secondary...

    What he has done for his Constituency, District, State and Country you should ask him when he comes to Shirva next time with his wife in colourful clothes....stop him and ask him...lets see if he has any answer!!!

    even at such a ripe old age & being in politics for>30yrs & claiming credits for petty duties he has preformed for people as a cabinet minister is disastrous and indicate caliber of self.it reminds us about what he was before coming in to politics.and his thinking is still in the same level.
    oscar,people dont just see what you did.that is your job/duty for that nation pays for your luxurious life.u fly to chikamangalore for parish feast on helicopter along wife & speaking about rosary at your home.are you paid for this?
    people also need to know at what cost u did this petty deeds for people & and in what time?
    don`t be childish,at least at this age.
