Udupi, Mar 31: The Congress opponents in BJP including my Udupi - Chickmagalur constituency, BJP leaders are campaigning for votes for Narendra Modi. But my party activists and I are requesting for votes for Congress and the country.
The voters are prepared to answer person worship in the BJP and I am sure that Congress flag will be hoisted high this time also, said K Jayaprakash Hegde, MP and election candidate of Udupi-Chickmagalur Lok Sabha constituency.
He was speaking at a Congress election campaign meeting held at Kaup market for Udupi - Chickmagalur Loksabha constituency.
As member of Lok Sabha, I have visited more than 300 villages during the last twenty two months. I had done development work in all the grama panchayat limits. As an MP, I have worked hard for the development of Udupi-Chickmagalur Lok Sabha constituency. I request for another opportunity based on my performance, he said.
Udupi district in charge minister Vinay Kumar Sorake spoke saying that the election is important in view of the well being of the country and the people. If we make a small mistake, it will amount to passing on the country in the hands of people who create uncertainty. Let us strive to make the dream of BJP to remain a dream as they ignore the principles of Gandhiji, destroy the future of the country and dream of running the country for their selfish motives, he said.
