Speaking to reporters here on May 17, Tuesday,  Shetty    lashed out at District in-charge Minister B Ramanatha Rai  and alleged that the Minister who was well aware of the problems confrontng the district, was only trying to save his chair instead of solving the problems.

On the complaint of the minister that the protestors against Yettinahole had  failed to turn up at a meeting convned to discuss the issue, Shetty said the meet was convened on Vijaya  Dashami Day  making it impossible for the activists owing to some other pre-ouccupaton. He urged the Minister to fix another date to disccuss the project with the CM and that they were ready to go to Bengaluru for  the purpose.


Satyajth Suratkal, Jithendra Kottary, Shashiraj Kolambe and others were present at the press meet.
