MLAs representing Kundapur never became ministers


Daijiworld Media Network - Kundapur (SP)

Kundapur, Aug 5: Right from the period Kundapur assembly constituency was carved out, none of the MLAs elected from here have been made ministers. In most of the cases, the MLAs who were elected belonged to the ruling party. The current MLA Halady Srinivas Shetty, has been elected as a legislator five times from here, but he has not been made a minister even though those much junior to him have overtaken him.

Every time a new government was formed or the ministry was reorganized, the people here fervently hoped that the legislator from here might become a minister. In the past, Prathapachandra Shetty had become Congress MLA of Kundapur four times, but he was not made a minister. However, after he got elected as MLC, he was made the chairman of the legislative council.


Halady Srinivas Shetty

The constituency has witnessed good development even though its representatives were not made ministers. People feel that if the legislator from here was made a minister, some industries small and big, tourism, and a medical college might have been sanctioned.

Before the list of ministers to be sworn in was finalised on Wednesday, Halady Srinivas Shetty's fans who went from Kundapur, demanded a ministerial berth to Shetty with flowers and placards in hand. A campaign in social websites had been undertaken seeking cabinet berth for their leader and many had written open letters in his support. Many articles about his seniority, experience, sincerity and ability had appeared.

At the same time, Halady remains unperturbed. When his fans were fighting for his elevation, he remained in his village. He did not take part in the process of the selection of the chief minister, swearing in ceremony of the ministers etc. He has always been claiming that he does not believe in lobbying for the ministerial position, will accept only those ministries in which he can show some progress if he is selected, and that he does not know what are the eligibility criteria for becoming a minister.

    Mr.Shetty should form a break away group of those BJP MLA's who are not happy or being insulted by the Party high command.Let Mr.Shetty try his best and even can become the Chief Minister of Karnataka because of his credibility and hardwork.

    A bunt was given the state president position and fulfilled Bunt's aspiration. In the last election also, the maximum number of candidates of undivided SK are from Bunts community. Hence, BJP might be focusing more on Billava voters...

    Correct, BJP feels it did injustice to billawa community during ticket allocation during 2018 even though they are its main vote bank which the desperate congress is trying to break with Koti Chennaya politics. The made that useless Nalin state president of BJP who is not worth being a MLA forget MP . He deserved maximum some panchayat president post that's all but BJP wanted some stooge who could only dance on the tunes of high command. Because of his elevation, many deserving Bunt leaders are side lined, one of them is this honest man.

    Halday is not minister because he doesn't lobby or bow down to Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat. If he quits party, BJP will pay dearly in Kundapur constituency like it did in 2013 when Halday stood independent and won in record margin compared to his win in 2008 under BJP. In 2018 election, he is the only MLA in the state and if am not wrong it might be national record for a MLA winning more than 1lkh margin. Its Sad that BJP is doing grave injustice to him.

    He deserves not minister post he actually deserves cm post. But it is known fact a rss leader is a hurdle for getting him minister post also. But remember he notafter ministry never after name nd fame but after only humanity service. He believed in only janata seveye janardana seve. A exceptional case in not only in state but also in nation. Let pm interfere nd show that ideology is respected not greed for power Show less. He is honest Our MLA nice gental man. He sold his property to help poor people of kundapur iF Your search clean image politician in Karnataka he will undoubtedly number One. Even opposition party people also accept this in Kundapur He doent need Minister post He is KIng he will be KIng forever

    "Yediyurappa cheated him by cancelling his minister ship at the last minute:" because then Yedurappa was selling ministerial berth for crores and generating funds for Amit Shah and Modi ,no ED no NIA, but Halady didn't have funds to buy ministerial post like Reddy brothers and Srirumala.

    I believe there should be another district by name Kundapur should be carved out. Reason is it's too far for people to visit current district HQ i.e. Udupi.

    this fellow indirectly made a press conference in Udupi and said that he is not an aspirant..his followers got a twitter campaign also..but time and again he gets chombu.. actual he wants to be a minister..once he resigned and contested as independent also showing his strength..but the bacchali party does not give a damn to such honest people i think I think he is not a follower of Chaddi Rss..that is why..

    Here is a man..simple, honest, down to earth. He is really representative of people. Yediyurappa cheated him by cancelling his ministership at the last minute. There is no place for honest people in any party be it Congress or BJP or Janata Dal. Cement thief Sunil Kumar is made minister and egg thief Jolle is also a minister. Politics is strange but not surprised to see criminals getting ministership as we all know how government works.
