Beltangady, Nov 11: "Only those people whose names appear in the internal survey conducted by BJP will get the party ticket for the next elections. However, the other aspirants need not get disheartened. When we form the government, we will assign them other positions. All have to work unitedly for the success of the party," said Yeddyurappa on the night of Friday, November 10, at the 'Parivarthana Rally' that was held at the premises of Prasanna college, Laila.

"What is the point of having a state government that has not given relief to the farmers? Let us build 'Congress-free Karnataka', the dream of our Prime Minister, by voting out the irresponsible Congress government. AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, who is accused of rape, should not step foot in Karnataka. Division of Congress party is the aim of the present chief minister (CM) Siddaramaiah and that is why he is conducting rally sans Dr Parameshwara. He has also put D K Shivakumar in trouble," he added.

D V Sadananda Gowda, central minister of statistics and programme implementation, said, "The money which is given by the Siddaramaiah government reaches only till the office of Beltangady MLA Vasanth Bangera. It does not reach the people at all. Our party will provide transparent administration.

"Central government is giving 2.15 lac metric tonne of rice every month. The same is being used for the programme 'Anna Bhagya'. This is a government of scams," said Shobha Karandlaje, member of parliament.

In his address, Nalin Kumar Kateel, member of parliament, said, "Dakshina Kannada has got a grant of Rs 15,000 crore in the last three years. Rs 708 crore has been distributed to 57,000 people under 'Mudra Yojana' scheme. Fifty-two thousand people have got cooking gas under the scheme 'Ujjwala Yojana'."

"The state government is a 'clean chit government'. People like Meti, George and son of CM get clean chit immediately. Rs 4,500 crore given by the centre has not been distributed to the farmers because CM of Karnataka is a useless person. CM is so proud that he compares himself to Bedara Kannappa even after insulting God. Congress party is in ICU (intensive care unit) now. We are undertaking this rally for the BJP to come back into power in the state," said Sriramulu, vice-president, state BJP.

Ravi Kumar, chief secretary, state BJP, Kumar Bangarappa, former minister, Aayanur Manjunatha, former member of parliament, Satyajit Suratkal, chief secretary, backward classes of state BJP, Tejaswini Gowda, member of parliament, Sanjeeva Matandoor, president district BJP, Captain Ganesh Karnik, member of legislative council, Sharada Rai, vice-president of district BJP, K Korgappa, secretary, district BJP, Harish Poonja, president district yuva morcha were present on the occasion.
