Mangalore Today News Network

Mangaluru Sep 3, 2016:  "Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and former chief ministers Veerappa Moily  and  Sadananda Gowda  who have directed officials of various departments to expedite the works of the   Yettinahole project at a review meeting, are  playing Olympics over Yettinahole project for which they should be conferred with Khel Ratna Award," mocked senior Congress leader Janardhana Poojary.

Addressing  media persons at Press Club on September 3 Saturday, he said that  the CM asking the  officials to inform him of any  hindrance during the implementation of the project clearly shows his  lack of concern towards coastal people.  The CM along with the former CMs are firm on converting coastal areas into a desert, he alleged.

 The coastal people will  take up cudgels against the decision which is a conspiracy of  the two former CMs  to which the Chief Minister has fallen victim, Poojary said and urged  Chief Minister to drop the project immediately.

Kallige Tharanath Shetty and others were present.
