Kundapur, Apr 9: “I have been working as a sincere BJP activist for the last eighteen years. Vidhan Sabha elections were held when I was the block president and I had worked for booth level unity successfully trying for the party victory with the help of party elders. I had brought to the direct notice of MLA B M Sukumar Shetty the non-implementation of his assurances and dissatisfaction of party activists. But he was angry with me and started to be revengeful towards me since then. He has filed four to five court cases against me. I am submitting my misery in the abode of Kollur Mookambika deity,” alleged Udupi district BJP chief secretary Sadananda Uppinakudru.
Speaking to news reporters near Kollur Mookambika temple on Friday, he said that he had opened a shop by the name of Bharath tiles borrowing Rs 20 lac on interest from a local person. “The lender had taken five bank cheques from me on the occasion. I have refunded Rs 48 lacs adding Rs 28 lacs as interest through the bank. But the lender had not returned the cheques taken from me. A compromise meeting in that connection was held later when the lender had agreed to return the cheques. My blank cheques reached the hands of MLA then and he has filed a case of bounced cheques on me.”
“I had spent more than Rs 45 lacs for the victory of Sukumar Shetty when I was the BJP president for five years. He had made me believe that he will return the amount after he wins the elections. He has returned Rs ten lac by means of two cheques of Rs five lac each. He still owes Rs 35 lac to me. Yet he has filed cases of bounced cheques on me mentally harassing me,” he said.
“Mookambika deity will watch the truth. I have submitted my pain to her. I will swear that the cheques are not given to me. Similarly let the MLA come to Kollur temple and swear,” he challenged.
Reshma Sadananda said that the peace of mind of their family is spoiled because of the MLA. I will commit suicide with children in front of their residence if he does not stop false allegations and cases and mental harassment.
Leelavati and children were present.
