Wow.. Feku created 2 crore jobs (jobless job) and deposited black money in account (his account and ambani;s account)

and now he is offering 25k and 3grams of gold...! (better to keep the same amount of thing in bank otherwise feku will loot that) great..
I am scared IT dept may search my home because feku given job, more money and now gold also..

We dont have any hope of getting 25k and 3grams of gold. All candidates are criminals... No need of those things..better to save girl children from them

Everything copy of Cong plans. Indira canteen they copied and named Annapoorna canteen

How these shameless people can act contradictory at the same time. Feku telling they are giving first preference to women safety and empowerment at the same time manifesto released with some shit cow protection commission

If you elect BJP candidates.. will serve free go mutra for drinking and bathing daily as per BJPs prestigious move "Go mutra ayog"

Feku uttered that women first for them. But even in the manifesto, they made some plan for cows. Go seva ayog. for women - go to hell ayog

Better to read LKG students complaint notebook. They will promise something and in reality, they will do opposite to that

No need of manifesto.We know what they will promise.

Mangaluru Airport turns political stage: Congress workers chant for DKS as Venugopal arrives

News Network

December 3,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.
