Speaking about tobacco growers problems, he said that the state government has discussed the issue with the central government, according to which financial aid will be provided on a priority basis so that farmers can grow alternative crops in areas affected by Yellow Leaf Disease.

The CM also said that he had released Rs. 1 crore for the renovation of Mahalingeshwara Temple in Puttur and promised to release additional funds if required.

Claiming that people are happy with his governance, he promised to continue working for social welfare as sincerely as before. Launching development projects worth Rs. 9.25 crore in his native place Mandekol, he said that he is successful because of the love and affection of his people and the support of his party.
