Addressing the media persons, he said, “Eminent entrepreneur Dr B R Shetty from Abudhabi will be joining the convention and will address the villagers as well as locals of Ambalpady on March 3 at Ambalpady junctions.”

“Views regarding the problems of locals from Sri Vishwesha Theerta Swamiji, Pejawar math and Sri Sugunendra Theerta Swamiji, Puttige math will be recorded and sent to PM’s office, New Delhi.”

“The committee members had met district president of BJP, Thingale Vikramarjana Hegde. But he refused to extend his support in the construction of a flyover and bypass at Ambalpady junction,” he said.
