Will give priority to Byndoor if voted : Geetha Shivarajkumar

Daijiworld Media Network – Kundapur (SP)

Kundapur, Mar 28: ‘If the voters elect me as their representative, I will work for the development of Shimoga constituency honestly. I promise to give special priority to Byndoor assembly constituency and try to solve problems plaguing people here,’ said JDS candidate from Shimoga Lok Sabha constituency, Geetha Shivarajkumar. She was speaking to reporters at Guddammady near here on Thursday March 27.

‘I am confident that the people of this constituency will provide me an opportunity to serve them. During electioneering all over the constituency, I have observed that there is favourable atmosphere for the party among the electorate. Leaders of the party have been doing excellent work. If the people bless me with victory, I will discharge the responsibility as a Lok Sabha member honestly and to the best of my ability,’ she promised.






Geetha assured to make Shimoga her home if she is elected, and to involve full time with the development of the constituency. Adding that her husband and Sandalwood actor, Shivarajkumar, has fully supported her decision to fight the election, she revealed that he will also campaign for her in the coming days. She also expected several actors from Kannada filmdom to canvass for her.

MLA and JDS Shimoga district unit president, Madhu Bangarappa, said that his late father, Bangarappa, has left behind a strong positive impression in the minds of the people, which continues to be visible even now. ‘He was a secular person, with strong leadership qualities. I am sure that the people, crossing caste and religious considerations, will wholeheartedly vote for his daughter, Geetha Shivarajkumar,’ he added.

In the joint press conference, he said he does not find any problem with the organizational set up of the party in Byndoor. He revealed that during his travel throughout the constituency, he has found strong base for the party everywhere. ‘I am confident that the people will vote us, by ignoring both Congress and BJP. The media has revealed to you the administrative follies of Congress. Yeddyurappa had, in the last election, ensured victory for his son from this constituency, by misusing caste considerations, money, and power. Because of his thirst for power, Yeddyurappa is fighting election again from this constituency. What moral right Yeddyurappa, who left BJP, and formed KJP, before crossing over again to BJP has to seek votes from you?’ he questioned. Madhu said his party had decided to seek votes in the name of my father, who provided good administration. ‘Our stand will be secular, and we hope to secure a win in view of large number of support Bangrappa has in the constituency,’ he explained.

JDS minority district unit president, Mansur Ibrahim Maravante, JDS women’s unit district president, Shalini Shetty Kenchanur, other leaders like Kishore, Srikant Adiga, D R Raju, block JDS president, Ranjit Kumar Shetty, Annappa Senapura etc were present.

Geetha addressed an electioneering meeting near Lord Subrahmanya Swamy Temple in Guddammady, where she promised the gathering to honestly try to solve problems faced by people of Byndoor constituency like sea erosion, toddy tapping problems, and ration cards etc. Madhu Bangarappa and several other leaders were present.

    People,

    Yeddy will win Shimoga seat easily...after spending part of his ill gotten wealth...Geetha will come second...Majunatha Bhandary of CONgress will come third and continue to sell his Engg Seats at Sahyadri Mangalore...

    Looks like Kagodu Thimmappa wants Yeddy to win that's why weak CONgress candidate so Bangarappa's daughter does not win...

    Out of 8 assembly seats of Shimoga currently CONgress has 4, JDS 3, BJP 1...Kogadu, Bangarappa and Konandur Lingappa became MLAs in 1967...Kogodu does not want his one time friend turned foe's daughter to win at any cost...so comes Bhandary who will win perhaps in Byndoor and comes in third place...

    ...JH...

    Congress and BJP have wasted time of Loksabha fighting with each other.Is it a achievement? Most of the time is spent in Loksabha talking about corruption and nothing is achieved. Rahuls record in Loksabha is known to all.How many times he has spoken in Loksabha regarding a good issue? Good work is better than empty talk. Geetha has a strong secular background and has good chances to win .At the moment where the country is busy in electing communal background PM candidate its necessary to elect more and good and secular people like Geetha.Its a good opportunity

    if they lose the election, sure Madhu Bangarappa with a frustration looks like a porcupine. Hair is already tuning to be sharp spine ready to attack Kumar Bangarappa.

    Just because she is the daughter of Bangarappa and the wife of Shivraj Kumar should the people vote for her ?
    Whether she can pin point Byndoor in the Map of Karnataka ?
    She can't talk properly even in filmy functions. then how she can talk in Lok Sabha if she is elected ?

    All Shimoga development is for one community ..rest all are still struggling ..idigas and backward communities have been sidelined. kurubas , idgias and backward classes are in good numbers not easy for YEDDY ...

    There are allegations BSY is totally corrupt . if true We do not need somebody who takes 100 Millions home and gives 1 million to the development.We do not need such people. A honest person is needed at the moment.Bangarappa has vast following in Shimoga which will be blessing for Geetha she has good name behind her in shivrajkumar a prominent actor and Rajkumars son . BSY son had won only with 50,000 votes last time, despite BSY being CM. So the battle is wide wide open. Moreover JD(S) has 3 MLS in Shimoga. byndoor could cause some problems which has to be overcome smartly

    Can Geeta swim against the wave of game players like Congress and BJP?. People must teach a fitting lesson to bjp and congress by defeating them by huge margins. Both are communal as its proven after Muthalik induction(Pub attack) by BJP and Shetty induction(Pub Attack) by Congress.Both lied to public.

    People contest for election for different reasons. To fulfill mothers dream/ to fulfill father's revenge. It sounds good, like Sholay pic story. Serving the grievances of the people of the constituency they dont have time. She means byndoor or bendoor.
