“MP has failed utterly in fulfilling the aspirations of the people of the district. The deadlines for the completion of four-laning of the NH 66, including two flyovers at Thokkottu and Pumpwell, has been extended several times and the road works remain incomplete even to this day. The achievement of Nalin Kumar Kateel is zero,” said Mr Kunhi.

“The coalition government, led by H D Kumaraswamy, has taken up a series of welfare programmes in Karnataka. The loan waiver has benefited the farmers. Compensation has already reached areca nut growers, who lost their crops due to fruit rot disease that hit arecanut plantations in the district,” he informed.

Former Minister Amarnath Shetty is leading JD(S) and has already visited Kadaba, Bantwal, Puttur, Sullia, Surathkal and Mangaluru to mobilize party workers to work for the Congress candidate.

“The minor differences with Congress will be set aside and will work for the defeat of the BJP candidate,” pointed out Me Kunhi.
