    Which church was repaired and which cemetery was developed using Govt. funds? Any examples? Repairs and renovation works are done through parishioners’ contributions and donations from abroad. Jhoot kyon bol raha hai?

    May hay when the sun shines , Ivan. Like your great president of Cong, you too were 'selected' for whip officer by the CM. Just to woo the community in the guise of 'minority ' appeasement. You may not get a ticket for election . If Lingayats are approved as minorities by the center. You had it.

    This guy is nothing compared to Mr. Lobo. Is it necessary that you have to boast about your achievements? Whatever is spent is not your hard worked money or your donation, it was our tax money. So, grow up and work from your heart and mind and not for votes.

    Dear Indians;

    Kindly check the contractors and agents how developed their property by sharing this fund. they took the contract , conduct the work at site worth 25% claims 100% diverts the fund to develop their or their boss sites. verify this physically, at Bangrakulur village ; op posit to Thanirubhavi beach area, by encroaching Government land , and developing in the name of Tourism, planning for resorts etc.
    Why government officers and our leaders are not taking action against this ? How they support to encroach government Land ?

    Please alert, and check this.

    Good work will pay back the rewards. Do not have to worry about adverse comments. But if you misuse the funds and try to show off for political purpose, you will be blessed by God. Remember this.

    This measure wont make you a leader and win elections. You will have to just be a 'back door' entrant on sympathy playing the 'minority' card.
