“I have never seen such a dirty minister in my whole life,” JD(S) district unit former president Vasanth Bangera said addressing a press conference.
Addressing a press meet to announce his support for the Congress, here on Friday, Mr Bangera flayed District-in-Charge Minister B Nagaraj Shetty and added that the minister was interfering in anything and everything in the district. “Be it police stations, sub-registrar’s office or even village accountant’s office, the minister interferes in all issues,” he alleged.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Farooq Ullal alleged that JD(S) candidate Aboobakar Natekal is being led by Mr Nagaraj Shetty. “The BJP has been wooing the voters to caste their votes for the JD(S), if they didn’t wanted to caste their vote for the BJP,” Mr Farooq alleged. Soon after the press meet, Mr Bangera and his team visited Gokarnanatheshwara temple, two other temples, a church and a durgah in Ullal. Later, he met Congress candidate U T Abdul Khader. Mr Bangera’s team will launch their campain in Ullal from Monday.
