Former airport director M R Vasudeva is AAP LS candidate from Mangalore

Media Release

Mangalore, Mar 10: The Aam Aadmi Party of Dakshina Kannada has announced Marpalli Ramayya Vasudeva, better known as M R Vasudeva as its Lok Sabha candidate for the Mangalore constituency. M R Vasudeva is the former director Mangalore International Airport.

M R Vasudeva has an MSc in statistics from the Mysore University, he also holds an MBA from IGNOU, besides other diplomas. He is an ISO lead auditor and has widely traveled overseas to give seminars.

As the director of Airport Authority, M R Vasudeva was responsible for the upgradation of Mangalore Airport to international airport status, from “Concept to Operation”. He completed the project in record time despite heavy and difficult odds.

An articulate speaker in Kannada, Hindi and English, he has been in the local circuit of resource persons in management, engineering, as well as socio-economic issues. He is a visiting faculty member at Srinivas College of Engineering in Mukka on NH 66, near NITK, Suratkal. A recipient of multiple awards, he is well read, well informed and is endowed with convincing presentation and debating skills.

“M R Vasudeva as our MP candidate has been greeted enthusiastically by our team. He is a local, he has impeccable credentials and he will initiate much needed accelerated improvement of DK, which past MPs have not been able to accomplish,” said Rohan Shiri, a founding member of AAP DK. “Since our inception we have participated and supported a number of initiatives such as the Nidodi andolan. AAP has and continues to vehemently oppose the Netravathi project.

“With the backing of like minded parties who have no faith in options provided in the past, we will win,” said Rashid Bolar, an active volunteer of AAP who participated in the India Against Corruption movement for the Lokpal Bill, along with Vidya Dinker, T R Bhat, V U George and many others.

“We are a 21st century party that appeals to people who are fed up with parties that practice the politics of the last century. Our country is sinking under corruption and until AAP came along, corruption was not even on their agenda” said Prithvi Reddy, AAP national executive.

M R Vasudev added, “Dakshina Kannada is a jewel of the Konkan coast that has been neglected by the State Government and the Centre. I had to overcome innumerable obstacles in developing the Airport as a bureaucrat, with support coming from the State and Center in bits and pieces, and that too given after repeated requests. The airport was completed by the sheer grit and determination of my team. The condition of DK is dismal. The Mangalore Port has been neglected. If improved it would increase the economy of our region significantly. The National Highway and critical arterial roads are in shambles. Improving the Tokur railway station and adding a feeder road from the Airport to the station, will be a major convenience for air travelers and generate business for bus, taxi and rickshaw operators.

"We have been nice for too long and given so much more and received very little. Now they want to take our water by diverting the Netravati! We understand the neighbouring regions have a water problem, but it cannot be solved by tampering with a resource given to us by Mother Nature. We must have an independent water committee to solve water usage and distribution issues. We need to rejuvenate neglected water bodies and build ecologically sound check dams. I wish to work with the Center, the State and Local governments to improve the sorry condition of DK. Furthermore I believe the time has come to start demanding a separate Tulunadu State or along with UK, a separate Karavali state due to the attitude of the state and center who have and are dumping unhelpful projects on us. The peaceful nature of our people has been mistaken as acceptance. AAP will fight for our rights and seeks the people’s support to realize their aspirations,” he said.

The Aam Aadmi Party of Dakshina Kannada district was launched on February 15, 2013, by Yogendra Yadav, AAP national executive. It was the first AAP unit to be formed in Karnataka.

    Mr. M.R.Vasudeva is a competent candidate as he is honest, sincere, educated and efficient.Our Mangalore was well known for its cosmopolitan outlook until certain communal parties started dividing the society on fake religious issues. We bowed our heads in shame after the HOMESTAY attack by communal parties. We need a clean, corruption-free and non-communal administration. The intelligent people of Mangalore must change with times for achieving much needed progress instead of going back to earlier centuries on the ground that our forefathers lived that way. I sincerely appeal to the people of Mangalore to think rationally before voting to avoid communal and corrupt elements from coming to power. How nice and happy we will be if we have an efficient administration and we can get our work done in public offices without giving bribes. Mr. M.R. Vasudeva and his party have the potential to do this miracle. May Mr. Vasudeva of AAP win the election.

We need a true people's rep for us, we have been ruined by the party politics for last 65 years whether it is Cong or BJP. MRV being such a wonderful man - he did in 5 years what the politicians did not do in 50 years for Mangalore Airport - he will secure more votes than Cong BJP put together.

We got the independence from British and now we are ruled by these corrupt politicians who control the nation, price, riots, police force etc.
    AAP is the only party which has clear ambitions to bring Janlokpal bill and they are transfer-ant compared to any political parties.. Why not give them a chance now...why wait for another 5 years and see more scams happening and riots are happening...

    I would personally vote for M.R. Vasudeva instead of JP or NKK. However, my worst fear is that AAP will join hands with Congress just the way they did it in recently held Delhi elections and create a mess at the national level. With AAP is contesting most of the MP seats, it is likely that Delhi election results will repeat at the national election with the majority of the seats going to BJP/NDA, AAP is coming second and Congress/UPA allies coming third. Congress/UPA obviously will take that opportunity to form a government with the AAP's help that will lead to another 5 years of sluggish economic growth which is bad for India as a whole. This kind of the election result is a burden. Either NDA or UPA or AAP must get a majority of the votes. Otherwise, the entire nation suffers.

    On the question of whether Vasudeva could govern or not?

    As the elected representative of DK constituency the most important trait for a person is to deal fairly and justly toward the people and the jobs entrusted to do.

    The main challenge we in India face is not a dearth of capable people. There are many capable people in India to do a decent job, but where we lack people of Honesty, Credibility & Accountability. Hence, if a person has the above traits he will appoint like minded people who will govern themselves accordingly.

    I am not against either BJP or Congress, there are a very few honest people, but MOST are corrupt – let's face the facts. In April we should all come out in large numbers and give AAP a thumping majority. Though there is no magic formula for India will change instantly, especially after so many years of misrule. Guaranteed, the lives of the “Aam Aadmi” will India slowly, but steadily things will change and we will see that in the first term of the AAP government.
    As we have seen both Congress and BJP and regrettably both have miserably failed the Indian people I am asking all Indians to give AAP a chance. Remember the good old slogan, VOTE FOR AAP... and so on election day make it happen.

    May God Bless India

    I am happy for the ion of good Lok Sabha candidate from Mangalore. The way the people in Daiji have wished him success and shown confidence in him, I have never seen for either BJP or Congress. But I remember the freedom struggle when Gandhiji was leading the struggle for freedom, there were many on their housetops, and through their windows and on the streets shouted Vande Mataram and said "We are with you and support your movement" but unfortunately there were a few that truly followed and went with him to get beaten up and also get into jails.

    Now we see a lot of supporters to AAP in Daijiworld. Will they too remain just spectators and say "We support you" or will they too join the movement and take up volunteering and join the donation campaign? Show it in action and make the best candidate put up by the AAP for our district, namely Shri M.R.Vasudeva win this election by a good margin. Now it depends on you supporters and well wishers to help this happen through your active participation in this endeavor.

    Dear brothers and sisters of mangalore! We as a nation are passing from a very critical stage. It is time that we move away from our old archaic thinking and vote for a well educated, well- informed and learned candidate who would do good for our district because our district has immense potential. So, its time to do some research about the candidates from here. Aap jisko bhi vote de, but make sure that you do enough research , look at their past track record and their capacity to represent us in the parliament and raise our issues. Find out how many questions did Shri kateel raise in the parliament during question hour in past 5 years! What was the role/view of Shri Poojary in Netravati andolan! or what was the background of Shri Vasudev in performing social work and economic activities in our district! Please don`t vote blindly for a party or their national leadership. VOTE FOR CHANGE!... JAI HIND! JAI KARNATAKA!

    I have absolute regards for Mr. Vasudeva but his collusion with a (major) Education institution whos's founder is a violator of all norms, tells the real story.. I have my reservations.. no guesses for which person I am referring!!! Its not important if u talk about people who fly in the sky, but also be worried about the people who walk on the footpath. We need water, electricity and proper waste management as priorities for living as, not the airport.

    Taking into account his past performance as Director of Airport who upgraded the Airport to international status, we can definitely count on him for further development of DK such as up gradation and expansion of Central Railway Station, introduction of more trains, improvement of Thokur Station, creation of the separate Railway Division for M’lore and above all scrapping of the controversial Netravati River Diversion Project. We indeed see an active, reliable and performing MP in Mr. Vasudeva.

    Now we are blessed with a candidate M R Vasudeva who will be contesting the election under AAP for Lok Saba Seat. I will definitely canvas for him. Mangalore requires a great leader like M R Vasudeva. We wish all the best to M R vasudeva and AAP party.

    with all due respect to M R Vasudev,He is well known among the NRI circuit, but on the ground level, the majority of the voters residing in towns and villages are not familiar with him or his achievements.

    Even if he has to make an impact in these elections, he has very little time on his hands.

    I am doubtful that he might be able to score big in these elections. Perhaps if he had at least 4-5 months he would have done well.

    With full respect to Mr. Vasudeva, his honesty and ability no question, but a vote wasted and if he wins a seat wasted for sure, AAP is a house built without foundation, and the mess that has happened is a shame to democracy, in Mangalore or Udupi people should vote either BJP or the Congress all others though might be better as candidates or even if they win they can't fight for any development, wish people like Mr. Vasudeva do more social work because for sure he won't win, the elite class votes are very small in number, BJP has its vote bank which for sure won't change and congress have some poor people which they have fooled and kept with them, and the minority stuff, that won't help Mr. Vasudeva, but I though vote for him wish him well

I am a member and I worked hard (will work too) but Rohan Siri should be changed, he has an attitude of Hitler. Many hard working AAP members are out of the party. The AAP in Mangalore is divided.

    The main 2 people in AAP mangalore are came from other parties, they came here to use the popularity of Arvind Kejriwal and AAP.

    Dear Vote MOdi,
    The problem with AAP was no majority. BJP the largest single party had no Guts to form the Govt. Were barking like Dogs. AAP did not wanted Fresh Elections so took the support of Congi. Both wanted that AAP popularity should go. They did a Good job by quiting the Govt. What he did in few days was a great thing where Bjp could not do in 5 years & Congi in 15 years. Rise about the party levels and vote for AAP. Do you want a butcher to be the PM of India.

    Dear DK Voters,
    Please don't waste your valuable votes by voting for AAP,HUM or TUM. Please learn from Delhi's case. They have paid the price for their experiment. This Bhagoda party could not even run Delhi for 50 days. Their intention is to contest elections and divide the polarized votes particularly in those constituencies which have more versatile, media sensitive and educated voters like Delhi and DK.

    Dear MRV sir, with due respect to your credibility, I request you to either stay away from politics or join leading National Parties like BJP or Congress. Good or Bad, only these two parties have the record of running stable governance for full term. By the way sir, there is much more to DK people's expectations from elected MP, than airport and air travellers conveniences. Please read DK people's pulse carefully and try next time.

Please do not let go this golden opportunity. It is needless to mention the credentials of Mr.Vasudeva. He has made our Mangalore famous by going against all odds and building a beautiful international airport, which is not an easy task when Mangalore is given a step motherly treatment by the state & central govt. He has left no stone unturned to achieve this. We need honest and hardworking people like him to win this election.

    Also, i learnt that they hold Vajpayee and Advani in high esteem, but aren't really happy with feku Modi.

    Basically, its the educated, working class, backward, lower to upper middle class and trading community who will eventually drift towards AAP.

    Proof 2: Feku talks of unity among all Indians then he takes the support of 'Anti North Indian' - Raj Thackeray.

And what can Modi do being a PM of a opportunistic coalition govt.? In this case, Cong is much better. We have to choose the right candidate in our constituency first and then think about the PM.

    Just to get Moody the PM, we should not vote Nalin K who is only good at cutting ribbons. I agree he is a good orator and talks good in Kannada, Tulu.

    Lok Sabha is not in Hampankatta. It is in Delhi unfortunately, where he has to know at least some Hindi (which others can understand) or English (which he himself can understand) or some Kai Bashe (sign language which all can understand). Just a broad smile won’t be enough.

    No doubt, everyone wanted Congress to win at least in Mangalore, Udupi districts. But unfortunately it is so much immersed in corruption and we DK people are just used on ‘use and throw’ basis by our elected reps. And if BJP comes there will never be one church and other places of worship in DK and Udupi un-attacked. On top of it, you have to got no freedom to eat what you want to. You will have to take your birth / religion certificate whenever you go out with someone. We will have to live in perpetual fear.

    But Vasudeva sir, please note these other established parties will never allow you to be in peace as your coming into the fray has seriously dented their prospects.

    As I said earlier, there was no use running an office and contesting if AAP’s internal conflicts were not sorted out. But now they have done a tremendous job in apparently overcoming all those problems and choosing a consensus candidate.

    I thought I would not vote this time because I Thought both Nalin Kumar nor Janardhan Poojary will not do any good . Now I will remove my Voter card to Vote for Vasudeva. All the best Sir . Both , JR Lobo and Vasudeva will be good MLA and MP for Mangalore.

    Many people like me now in total dilemma!!! If people chose to vote based on candidates, then result will be 1. M R Vasudeva, 2. Janardhana Poojary 3. Nalin Kumar Kateel. But if people choose to vote for good PM then result will be reverse !!! At the end it is mangaloreans who will decide the fate of candidates !!! Good luck to all

    Very good development on the political front from run-of-the-mill politicians who have done nothing of significance, with AAP is choosing a man with impeccable background!! He should be able to take up burning issues plaguing Mangluru which require urgent attention!!

    The public is fed up and wants a radical change, and it is a good chance to make that happen!!

    Wish Vasudeva sir all the best in the elections!!

    Majority of Hindu’s have all these while voted wisely(not aligned to any party), thus giving party like congress who, after getting elected only believes in vote bank politics and the rest of the society members do not exist to them. So does the BJP, which portrays as the saviors or Hindu’s are not really concerned about our problems. We should yet again prove that we should not vote blindly on caste lines to either of these parties instead vote people like Vasudeva irrespective of his party.

    I hope other community members who still believe that only one party is their savior, to come out of your shell and vote a neutral person who has proved his credentials and we can see that he can get the best to our constituency. If you think the action is Congress then the reaction is the BJP, but if we unite our divisions, then these 2 parties will not exploit our weakness.

    Come on Wake up guys. I don’t trust AAP with the way they are going, but I trust Mr Vasudeva. Our family voted Poojary last year without any choice as we all are anti-congress. But the candidate put by BJP was not worth the vote. But this year we have a option.

We have already seen the working style of old hat Mr Poojary and Nalin Kumar! They may be good people, but useless as MPs. Hope our wise people of Mangalore will vote for AAP and join their hands in fighting corruption against our leading corrupt parties! A very good opportunity not to be missed out!!

    Mangalorean issues need to be addressed in next five years of Parliament because there are many curcial issues affecting our twin districts.

    Kateel is not able to speak in Parliament !
    JP is can speak, but bound by party dictates.
    so, best choice to send MR VASUDEVA as voice of Twin districts in the next parliament. he can speak, fight and plan for our future.

    All the best MR Vasudeva.
    in case need for Election Expenditure please appeal through Daiji and people will contribute wholeheartedly for our true sun of soil.

    M R Vasudeva is the best man and the best candidate for MP. But, Rohan Siri is not suitable for the party. He acts as a dictator and already divided the AAP team of Mangalore. You just join the party as a volunteer and watch what he doing. He doesn't follow the AAP rules and regulations, instead, he creates his own rules. I wanted to help AAP and now, I am so sad that these criminal minded people controlling the Mangalore AAP party. So many hard working people are now out of the party, because of these opportunists.
