Mysuru, August 22, 2022 (www.justkannada.in): “Let us speak about eggs, chicken, meat, god, etc., afterward. We want a separate Lok Sabha constituency for the Kodagu district. It is a long pending demand of the Kodavas, let us talk about the problems of the district,” said BJP MLC Adaguru H. Vishwanath.
Speaking in Mysuru today, he informed that earlier Kodagu belonged to the Mangaluru constituency and now is a part of the Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency. “There are separate Lok Sabha constituencies for just 3-4 lakh population in the Northeastern states. Then why Kodagu cannot have a separate Lok Sabha constituency? Kodagu is a good tourist place. The district witnessed a huge loss due to heavy rainfall in recent days. Kodavas are angry with both Congress and BJP. Both the parties have not given representation for Kodavas. Talk about all these issues, let us talk about eggs, chicken, god, and other things later,” he said.
“People will hurl eggs, stones, tomatoes, cow dung, etc., on elected representatives, it is common. There are both good and bad people in this world. Hence, Siddaramaiah should re-introspect his Kodagu visit,” he suggested.
“A person had hurled slippers at the former PM Morarji Desai in Nagpur. Indira Gandhi had broken her nose due to stone pelting. There were several attacks on former CM Devaraj Urs. Chidambar was shown a shoe at a press meet. The Madikeri padayatra should be withdrawn. Elections are nearing, anything can happen. Please don’t become responsible for it. If you want to move confidence of motion in the assembly. The egg matter has become national news. But, many children have flown away in rainwater. It is incorrect for leaders like you to siege during such a time of difficulty. Our leaders B.S. Yediyurappa and all others have condemned this issue,” he added.
