Mangaluru Mar 26: "We feel that MP seat was vacant in the last 10 years and now Congress will fill it,” said MLC Ivan D Souza in city on Tuesday, March 26.
He was addressing the media. “During the filing of nomination by Mithun Rai, the crowd was more than we expected and we can feel the Mithun Rai wave in the district. If we come to power, we will make a separate Lok Sabha manifesto for the district and will introduce a scheme which will eradicate poverty in the country. As per the scheme we will provide Rs 6,000 every month and yearly up to Rs 72,000. BJP never fulfilled promises mentioned in their manifesto especially of crediting Rs 15 lac into the bank accounts of the poor,”
"We are a committed party. We will eradicate poverty in the district. We also give 33% reservation for women in central government jobs. It was impossible for the BJP government to fulfill the promises made in the manifesto during the year 2014. Prime Minister Modi is in confused state as in the year 2014, he said that a Chaiwals had become a Prime Minister, but now it has changed to Chowkidar,” he added.
"We have an inactive MP in the district. We feel that MP seat has been vacant in the last 10 years. The Congress party is going to fill it now. There is not a single footprint of Nalin Kumar Kateel in the last 10 years in the district,” Ivan D Souza said.
Speaking about Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar statement of referring Mithun Rai as Baccha meaning child, Ivan D Souza said," Baccha can achieve more than liars. Baccha can perform as he is a good leader and a youth icon. Even the BJP MLAs in the district are not experienced or superior,” Ivan concluded.
