  • Thousands of people extend support to Kundapur MLA

 

Kundapur, 14 Jul 2012: Kundapur MLA Haladi Srinivas Shetty said that he was not an aspirant for the post of a minister.

 

“It was the party leaders who directed me to come to Bangalore, to take the oath. The denial of berth after making a promise was not only an insult to me but also to the people of my constituency. I have already made up my mind to tender resignation.

 

I will not change my mind for any pressure from the political leaders,” announced Shetty.

 

Speaking to presspersons at his home in Haladi on Saturday, he said that when the BJP government was formed in the State under the leadership of B S Yeddyurappa, he had met Sangh Parivar leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat along with senior leader A G Kodgi and had appealed to give him a chance to serve the people.

 

“I had not fallen on his feet. May be it is the reason for me not getting a berth. There was a conspiracy behind me not getting ministerial berth,” he said.

 

“I have been in active politics for the last 10 to 15 years. I have not involved in any caste politics while taking up any work during my career. I am not the member of any caste association. When I was not inducted into the cabinet during the previous expansion, many of Bunt association members from Bangalore, Poona, Belgaum and Hubli had approached me and said that they will pressurise the Chief Minister to induct me.

 

However, I had denied all the proposals. I do not want to be a minister of a particular community.”

 

“I had decided not to use the government car, if I was given a berth in the cabinet. I wanted to lead a life with self-respect. By calling me to Bangalore, the party leaders have insulted. It has hurt my self-respect,” he said.

 

Stating that he was not involved in resort politics, Haladi said “I had not rebelled against the party and resorted to resort politics at Goa or Hyderabad. One of the accomplice of Reddy had met me last time and had offered Rs six crore along with a ministerial berth.

 

But I did not accept the offer,” he said.

 

Thousands throng

A large number of supporters of Haladi gathered in front of his house on Saturday morning itself. In fact, supporters and well wishers from various parts of the state had come in vehicles to Haladi’s house. As there was no parking space in Haladi’s house, many had parked their vehicles on either side of Kundapur-Haladi state highway.

 

Kundapur TP President Belladi Shankar Shetty, ZP Standing Committee on Education President Babu Hegde Theggarse, and others were present.

It is a lesson to those who wants to favour a party who do not have any credibility and any form of strong base other than communal disharmony and wants to rule India....!!!!????
