Mangalore, May 1: Despite the gloomy clouds lingering over the Karnataka Janata Party in Dakshina Kannada district, party's State secretary and candidate for Mangalore North constituency Ramachandra Baikampady has expressed his confidence of winning the elections.
Addressing mediapersons at a press conference here on Tuesday, he said that he has stood for the rights of the fishing community of the region and this would lead him to victory, this election.
Opposing the proposed thermal power plant at Niddodi, Mr Baikampady said that the project will affect the families in general and the farmers and fishermen in particular.
"Few politicians at the Centre and state have gone ahead and lobbied for the thermal power plant, without thinking about its consequences on the people. The project will have devastating affects and in a bid to oppose the project, I will unite all the farmers and fishermen of the region and stand against the project," he said.
Highlighting the bad governance of the constituency's previous leader, he said that the constituency of Mangalore North had seen many problems due to the maladministration of the BJP government over the past five years.
“The developmental works on the National Highway have still not been completed. The people belonging to the constituency are intelligent and sensible enough to select a suitable candidate this time. The fishing community has stood by me and a feasible environment has been created for my win from this constituency,” he said, adding that the BJP's defeat was certain this time.
KJP members Kamaraj Rai, Azeez Baikampady, Hameed Kudroli, Ibrahim J and Ramesh Kanchan were present at the press meet.
