The Hindu
Congress candidate M. Lakshman vows to prioritize development and address public issues in Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency.
The Congress which is embroiled with BJP in a straight fight in the Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency entered the rural hinterland of Hunsur on Saturday, March 30, in a bid to galvanise the rank and file besides wooing the voters with development as its key plank.
Congress candidate M. Lakshman – who was accompanied by senior party leaders – said that he would strive for the comprehensive development of the constituency and Karnataka.
Describing himself as a commoner who worked his way up and was exposed to problems confronting the public, Mr. Lakshman said he would strive day and night to redress the issues plaguing the public and raise their voice.
‘’Be it the Cauvery issue or tobacco farmers’ grievances, I am well aware of the subjects and would raise the issue with the persons concerned in the government to ensure justice to the people of the constituency,’’ said Mr. Lakshman.
Drawing attention to the employment potential in Mysuru and Kodagu in the tourism sector, Mr. Lakshman said that he would try to promote the sector while accusing the BJP of not doing much related to it.
Minister for Animal Husbandry K. Venkatesh said that only Congress can provide the kind of leadership that was required to make India a developed country and it was imperative to vote for Congress for the growth and development of India.
He said people of the State have tried and tested the BJP but are fed up with their non-performance. In the forthcoming elections, the BJP candidates will face defeat, said Mr. Venkatesh.
