Mangaluru, Dec 7: District South BJP staged protest here at DC office on Friday, December 7, against sand policy and delay in services from revenue department such as single site and land conversion.

Addressing the protestors, Mangaluru South MLA Vedavyas Kamath said, "State government should sort out sand shortage issues in the district or else soon after the sessions, BJP members will conduct fast-unto-death protest. District administration has not given permission for sand extraction in the month of December and this has created lot of trouble for the building workers to continue their job.”

"After several pleas to state government, revenue department and district administration, still the permission has not been given for sand extraction. This issue will be raised during the session, and then BJP members will conduct fast unto death protest,” he warned.

He further said, "People are not able to get the services pertaining to revenue department. Now Mangalore City Corporation has made property card compulsory which has created more trouble and inconvenience to the general public. Only 30% have availed property card, still 70% have yet to do their property card. District administration has extended one month time to avail property card, but the duration is not enough for the completion of property card for the rest 70%.”

“Former chief minister Siddaramaiah is the reason behind the problems that has been created in the district and it is unfortunate that the present chief minister has not come forward to sort out the issues in the district,” alleged MLA Vedavyas Kamath.

District BJP general secretary Capt Brijesh Chowta, former MLC Monappa Bhandary, BJP leaders Sanjay Prabhu, corporator Premananda Shetty, Sudhir Kannur, Roopa D Bangera and others were present.

    The BJP is coastal Karnataka wanted to repeat 'Ramlila Maidan' act of anti-corruption Crusade Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev.
    When a country is facing scams like 'Rafale Jet, 'Demonetisation', IL&FS, Kissa Joygna and so on Hazare is now gone underground. Whereas in another hand empire of Ramdev is building with more fortune ever since.
    The Bellary Reddy's who massed more than Rs 40,000 through iron ore sand and sponsored BJP debut government now want to destroy the ecology of undivided Canara like Tamil Nadu to became Reddy 's of the Coastal Karnataka.
    When the Father of India Mahatma Gandhi 'Satyagraha' gave freedom to India, the BJP in India wanted to use the same to build their own business empire.

    The sand game started during the tenure of Sr Krishna Palemar, as district minister first time the Builders and Real estate people started feeling the heat. During the Congress tenure Sri Ramanath Rai continued the game...today we people of DK district are suffering because of their selfish games. Common people shell out 3 to 4times the actual cost of the sand.
    No matter which government comes to rule, game still continues.
