Daijiworld Media Network – Beltangady (SP)
Beltangady, Nov 16: Local MLA, K Vasant Bangera (Congress), regretted that the respectability and reliability of people’s representatives is becoming a laughing stock of late. “Now-a-days, people refuse to trust the people’s representatives because of declining values. The ruling party had offered Rs 100 crore to me to change my loyalty,” he claimed.
He was speaking after inaugurating and laying foundation stones for various schemes being undertaken within the jurisdiction of Ujire gram panchayat and Ujire zilla panchayat constituency worth Rs 3.3 crore, at a function held at Halepete school premises on Monday November 15.
He said that the legislators are being sold like dogs in Bangalore. He urged the MLAs to retract their ways and make ammends to their behaviours, failing which, he warned that the people may chase them away whenever they are sighted.
The function was presided over by zilla panchayat member, E Sundar Gowda. Taluk panchayat member, Vasant Poojary, irrigation department officer, Narayan Poojary, panchayat secretary, Prakash Shetty, school headmaster, Tarakesari, and others were present.
