Bantwal, April 28: “BJP has national and cultural thinking. Its concept of ‘Vasudaivam Kutumbakam’ (family of Vasudeva) is embodied in the Kamalotsava that is being held in Bantwal for the first time in the country. It will be spread throughout the nation,” said BJP state president and Mangaluru MP Nalin Kumar Kateel. He was speaking after inaugurating the Kamalotsava held by BJP mandala at Oddoor farms in the leadership of the MLA Rajesh Naik.

“The participation of thousands of people here shows that Rajesh Naik is considered as the son of the families and leader. Oddoor is a junction of Bantwal and north block. Everybody has wealth. But the wealth in the heart is only in some. Rajesh Naik is one among them. The works that could not be completed in 70 years have been completed in four years here,” he said commending.

Bantwal BJP president Devappa Poojary who chaired the programme said that Rajesh Naik is identified as the model MLA during the last four years. “BJP is strengthened by Kamalotsava,” he said.
