Udupi, Apr 11: Aam Aadmi candidate from Udupi-Chikmagalur constituency Gurudev S H on Friday April 11 said that though he has no strong political background, he aims to eliminate corruption in administration.
Addressing a press meet here on Friday April 11, Gurudev, who hails from Koppa taluk of Chikmagalur district, said that his father was a farmer and also the president of the Bharatiya Krishi Samaj, Koppa.
32-year-old Gurudev is a software engineer by profession.
"AAP wants to bring about a change in governance and particularly eliminate corruption from administration. Corruption is deeply rooted in our society," he said.
He further said, “AAP began the implementation of the Jan Lokpal bill. Being a candidate of the Udupi-Chikmagalur constituency, my ultimate intention is to make Udupi an international tourist spot and provide power supply round the clock."
"As per my observation, about 80% of the rural youth want a change and nearly 10,000 people have become AAP members voluntarily."
He added, “Udupi is known to be a developed town but as per my knowledge, the people’s standard of living still need to be improved."
Harsha Halekote, Kartik, Vijay Kumar and Mohmad Siraj were present.
