Udupi: Actual contest was against Modi, not Shobha Karandlaje: J P Hegde

Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi

Udupi, May 23: Jayaprakash Hegde of Congress, who lost the Lok Sabha elections to BJP's Shobha Karandlaje, on Friday May 23 thanked his supporters and party workers for being with him throughout.

Addressing a press meet here, he said that he was thankful to all the supporters and the party workers for their hard work during the campaigning. He stressed that he secured a thousand more votes than the previous election.

In his defence, he said that he did not lose a single oppurtunity to raise questions in the parliament and that he was completely satisfied with his endeavours. He also said that he would continue his political journey and that he would serve the poor even though he had not won the election.

"The BJP started its campaign from the very beginning, unlike the Congress. I am happy that I received all support from the party workers," he said.

"My actual contest was against Narendra Modi and not Shobha Karandlaje. She would not have won if her development works alone had been considered," he said.

He asked the new central government to stop criticizing others and focus on development.

He said that the Congress party had failed to attract first-time voters; and issues like Aadhaar card, ban on areca and the lack of coordination had contributed to his party's defeat.

He also said that he would not try for the MLC post in the near future.

    Whole Brahmavar constituency knows what Basavarj did when he was MLA...He is good for nothing ... In front of Hegde he is a big zero... We Brahmavar people are not fools, that's why we opt Hegde for 3 times..He is only a MLA from Coastal who participate in discussion in assembly., thats why he offered first row in assembly as ' Sadana Shura' . ... Ur comment is a great joke...

    Voted for Modi, not by seeing Shobha Karandlaje & Nalin Kumar Katel (not even BJP), Its pure luck, since Modi is representing BJP, it’s time for BJP to win. The same thing is happened in throughout the country. Any way now it’s the time for proving their capability.

    2 yrs before J. P. Hegde has won in same constituency against all odds. BJP was ruling in Karnataka and Sunil Kumar too was a strong candidate compared to Shobbaka. This time it was not the same case. Modi Tsunami was very strong bcz of congress corruption scandals (yet to be proved) at centre. Public just said one thing. J. P. Hegde is good candidate, he has done very well, but we want to see Modi at the centre to have 272 . People voted for Modi and not for Shobakka. Every one knows she won't to anything good for our constituency. People have with heavy heart voted for Modi despite their admiration. N love for J. P. Hegde. Tsunami never brings good, let's wait n watch. Sheriff is coming to India. Ache din anevalle hai. Agali bar J. P. Sarkar. God does everything for Good. Jai ho J. P. H.

    I have read all the comments from all the anti and pro Modi/congress supporters with great patience.After going through all these comments aired by our great DW readers gave me much need impetus/food to my brain to understand the realities of different political celebrities.In one way it is nice to argue or counter argue about the party or personalities,their contribution,achievements towards the progress of the country and public/common and poor people,those who are not aware of the facts about that individual or party.Constructive criticization is always better and serve as good fertilizer for the growth of the nation but not the destructive ones just to highlight their names in this column.Yes, indeed I agree both sides comments but it is always difficult to accept and digest changes.Yes indeed congress has rules the country almost sixty seven years with or without much developments.Indeed they achieved and contributed in many ways.

    It does not mean that other party with new hopes,new innovative ideas should not occupy their seats.It is wrong.have patience,give them a chance for some time,see the differences of both the governments and then pass your comments.Without giving any chance to the new government,simply passing comments,writing rubbish is of no use.That what happened in this Loka Sabha election.How many people down sized,predicted,criticized in a bitter manner.The end result was,miracle.Modi wave did miracle.Therefore wait and see for sometime.Then see the difference and air your ANISIKEGALANNU.Now join your hands with the new government for the growth,prosperity and progress of the nation in all the fields.Then only we can compare the real differences of both the government.Don't be jealous.Don't worry be happy.May be we can expect more than what congress has done all these years.Best of Luck to all.Jai Hind,Jai Bharat,Jai Mathrbhoomi.Don't lose your heart and impatient.Whatever happens is for good.May be this change for good.Every dog has its own day.

    As I am from Kundpura, I know about this guy much more than many commentators...See below the case of JP Hegde..

    1. He mentions of getting 1000 more votes....as if people do not know how many voters have increased from last election..

    2. He tells BJP started campaign early.... All of us know Shobha was a last moment candidate.

    3. He tells his contest was against Modi. So what... getting defeated against Modi is justified for you? In that case be ready to loose till Modi goes out of politics..

    4. He advises the central government not to criticise... Where ws he when his own government was criticising Modi collectively (including him)

    5. he mentions he never missed opportunity to raise questions... Then why did not raise question against scams of his own party...?

    Dear JP Hegde, it is not your but my (and people like me) mistake for making you a MLA by defeating 3 time MLA & a good person like Mr. Basavaraj. We supported you by sidelining another good person Mr. KC Kundar.. But what you did? By neglecting us, you have joined that party that you hated for years for its wrong principles..

    When you go up, you kicked the ladder and do not know how to rescue yourself..

    Because of Modi wave, majority of BJP candidates have won the election. If there was no such wave BJP would have been in third position. All were crying Modi Jai Ho Not BJP. In fact we have to see the caliber of Modi in the years to come. It is too early to appreciate him. Atleast we have to wait for one year to see good result of BJP. One main agenda of BJP is bringing back the black money of Indians from Swiss Bank. But it may be very difficult to bring such money. Because there r many big people who r supporting BJP who have black money in Swiss Bank.Even Vajapayee could not do anything in this regard though he was a good PM.

    Udupi Chikmaglur people have given an ample opportunity to corrupt politician like Shobha to amass huge money and constituency will not get any benefits from Shobha. Shobha will make huge money for her generations. All economic problems in and around Udupi is structural and deep rooted. These problems will never disappear just by wagging Modi's or BJP's magic wand. Many big company's have given huge money for election funds and now in turn they seek the grace of these politician's for tax concessions etc. So dont expect any thing will come down and we are able to buy flats in Udupi in 10 lakhs. We need more employments in and around Udupi to accommodate our young qualified people and other aspirants. Is it possible? How we are going to benefit from a Government change? How the new politicians are able to set new Industries and Agricultural Institutions for economic growth? Is it going to happen? During 1991 Manmohan Singh was glorified as India's new economic architect. All the nation's in the world felt economic recession and still they are struggling to sustain, but India is least affected nation in this crisis. Even then Manmohan was demoralised. Same people are now glorifying Modi as new architect for economic boom and we all have wait and see how we are all partiuclary from Udupi are benefitted. Whether Swiss Bank money will come back? How these corrupt politician's eradicate corruption from our system?

You will not utter a word because that is the high command culture of Congress Party. You have lost because of above two reasons people where fed up with corruption and silence and you did nothing about it. Speak Up Sir!!!

    I strongly reject Modi wave in India going by the facts.Out of the total 55 crores votes polled BJP got just 17 crores votes and Congress got 10.5 crores vote. 38 crores were anti Modi votes.Bjp share was just 31% in this election. Congress share was 20% in this election. What is more interesting is in 2009 BJP had just 19% vote shares was able to get 116 seats but in 2014 Congress had 20% vote shares and was able to get just 44 seats.I can just say that there was RSS wave and not Modi wave in this election.

But me from his constituency knows him little better as our family has a very long political association with him...He is a good for nothing kind of a politician who hardly does any work.This is his hallmark of his political career since last 30 years. He is a very cheap politician i have ever come across....Some times we need to take a closer look at the people to know them better...

    It is unfortunate for JPH that he had to loose & corrupt chameleon like Shobha won for obvious reasons. Udupi voters had a touch choice this time whethee to look at their constituency or nation. They picked the nation. Great attitude.

    But the bad side is, Shobha will be like Sadanand Gowda, won't care much about Udupi/Chik. Because they don't have direct connection here. Any opportunity they get a better seat somewhere in B'lore she will run.
    This is just one more opportunistic move by her as always.

    I have seen JPH as quite different from other congi pudaris.He is professional and works without much fanfare.In his short tenure as MP he has made good attempt to redress the grievences of the Udupi/DK.I believe in the proverb that "Gunakke matsaravilla"
    Coming to election,he is not at all a match for Shobha but unfortunately for him the fight was between Modi wave and self,so he failed and not because of Shobha.
    The atmosphere around Udupi does not appear conducive for mutual understanding among various factions of Congress.there are three groups ie., Sorake,Madhwaraj and his lone group.I do remember,one he gave a statement that "Politics is not the right field for good persons" which speaks volumes the factionalism prevailing in Udupi.JPH is a simple man,approachable by anybody at any time.In fact he is right man in the wrong party.It is up to him to changeover BJP in the interest of his constituency and self too.

    JP says he worked very hard for campaigning... all candidates work very hard for winning.... but after winning they stop working hard the way they fought/worked hard in elections. This is the difference one observes in our MPs. They work hard during elections but then they enjoy power for their own self-interests. They feel like clearing an competitive exam and then enjoy life long.

    Another curious aspect of powerful politicians is the following... When some sports person or some talent shines bright and makes country proud then these politicians running the government will honor the achievers with cash n gift properties n hand away honorable public posts. But who will honour these politicians ? Politicians have found way to honor themselves .... that is by way of corruption they accumulate wealth n honor themselves. Tragedy of India

After all commitment and deliveries matters to the people. Always talking about secularism would not fetch votes. Look at the % of new generation voters turn out. New generation wants politicians to deliver and secularism and 1992/2002 bashing is no more a vote catcher for new generation and India! Imagine..2019 would have increased number of new generations...and expectation is more!

    You are very very right Mr. J.P.Hegde. Through out India...whoe ever won BJP seats..its because..Mr. Narendra Modi was on FOCUS. Not BJP..very much. If Mr. Modi was NOT the centre point this election BJP would have won at the most 100 - 150 seats with very difficult there is NO doubt. But Mr. Narendra Modi's Hard work...determination...Focus in development Agenda..Focus on Jobs to Youth...Bringing Indian Growth rate...Bringing down the Inflation...made YOUNG and NEW voters to VOTE for MODI...(NOT for BJP)...

    OK..now the Main Issue here is INC the oldest party's negligence.....to control the Price rise..to control the Growth rate...Prime Minister Dr. Man Mohan Singh (A Great Man in Indian Economist) failed to control his own Cabinet Ministers...and Sack them when ever is was required. Mr. Rahul Gandhi NOT NOT shown any interest to coming inside the Cabinet and take a greater responsibility...Bad Co-partners in Govt.,and very very late prepared and started work for the election. They should have started soon after last last election and formation of GOVT. to work for the next election. So..people now know and clever enough to judge how the Political Parties and Bad Politicians fooling them by just..doing ribbon cutting job.

    Mr. J.P. Hegde sure Ms.KaShobha Karandlaje DON'T deserve to win..but sure INC is deserve to LOSE this election...???!!! So as your well known and having a very good reputaion still continue your work..for the poor and needy people of the your belonging area..and people will be happy about you and you feel happy...to peoples happiness who benefited from you.

    Dear JPH. Its true Shoba won only because of Modi wave and nothing else. But You lost the election because of the party you were representing secondly because of your vindictive and revenge politics you played against Halady srinivas shettys group for which tour numbers in Kundapur constituency were also trailing which was your only hope against Modi wave in rest of your constituency. Bunts were frustrated with you and for the chindi politics you were playing. People who have followed your political carrier know very well how clean it is. Even Yeddi has won election with 2 lakh margin despite corruption allegations by developing his constituency here and there.

    Losing margin of 1.8 lac votes shows you wasted 2 years in Delhi without doing anything for the people.

    Janardjana Poojary's performance was better than you. He lost by 1.4 lac votes.

    He came to counting booth at 8 AM and left by 8:30 AM...

    Half an hour was enough for him to understand his position.

    Q****
    She would not have won if her development works alone had been considered...
    UN Q****

    who stopped congress to develop last 65 years? why?

    * Many years TATA has not given permission to make car (you depend on only trucks)
    ** Till 1998 Mahendra had not given permission to make car or SUV (you only make tractors)
    ***Till 1998 no foreign brands were allowed to sell in India (buy what is available India :> we Import what we need like luxurious cars and house holds<<<)

    No surprise now it is the time to repay..

    Congress tried to dominate the poor people on its own self interest.

    No, No Mr. Hegdeji, if your word is correct, why in Mandya these BJP put into third place! & how Congress gained 9 place in entire Karnataka!! It means you did not perform well in your area, so you lost. Don't think voters are fool, we knew well either whom to be elected or who does not. Modi is just a role model, why do n't you like that... better luck next time.. try to become a model in your constituency or jump into BJP.

    1."He asked the new central government to stop criticizing others and focus on development."
    Q: Where is it?
    2."He said that the Congress party had failed to attract first-time voters and issues like Aadhaar card, ban on areca and the lack of coordination had contributed to his party's defeat."
    Q: Why? Why did you all do what you did?
    3."My actual contest was against Narendra Modi and not Shobha Karandlaje"
    No question. Fully agree. Don't you all?
