Madikeri, Dec 16: "If he has got guts, let Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat contest against me in the next election," challenged Ramanath Rai, minister of forest. He was speaking to the reporters at Virajpete on Friday, December 15.
Rai ridiculed Bhat by saying, "Prabhakar Bhat will lose his deposit if he contests election. He thinks that he is of very high status in the society. But people of our locality know his true nature,"

"The money given by devotees to the temple should be utilized for the development of temple. Education department provides grant for the lunch of students of aided schools. Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat wants money instead of lunch for his school," he scorned and defended the stoppage of temple aid that was being given to the school run by Prabhakar Bhat.
