Bommai inaugurates Parashuram theme park in Karkala


Daijiworld Media Network - Karkala (JD)

Karkala, Jan 28: “A master plan will be drawn to promote culture and temple tourism in the coastal Karnataka in order to improve the economy,” said chief minister Basavaraj Bommai.

Speaking after inaugurating the statue of Parashuram atop Umikal Hill here on Friday January 27, he said, “There are ample opportunities for tourism here and already a number of schemes have been chalked out. The people of this area are hardworking and to make their life more meaningful, this region requires tourism as well as industries. But they require infrastructure. A complete development is when port, logistic parks are set up and roads are improved. Already, investors have come forward to invest Rs 1.5 lac crore for the manufacture of fuel, hydrogen and ammonia. It will be made a reality soon and help in changing the lives of people. Giving small packages will not improve the life of people as the strength of the ports must be increased. If investment increases, economic activities must also change on a big scale. The government's aim is not to give packages, but to improve life of people.

"It is a historic day especially in coastal Karnataka as the statue of Parashuram has been installed and a theme park is inaugurated. Parashuram is the creator of Tulunadu and had the personality of Karna. He was very brave, received the blessings of Shiva and was very strong. The people from this region must remember him,” he said.

V Sunil Kumar, Kannada and cultural minister, S Angara, Udupi in-charge minister, Shobha Karandlaje, MP Udupi-Chikkamagaluru, MLAs Lalji Mendon and Raghupati Bhat and noted actor Rishabh Shetty were present.

The Parashuram statue installed atop Umikal hill in Bailur, Karkala is already attracting thousands of tourists from various parts of the state and nation. The theme park has Bhajan mandir, museum, open air amphitheatre, drawings depicting life of Parashuram, audio visual gallery, and a restaurant.

    Nothing wrong to spend money on this type of Project..... At least many people got job because of this Project..... Far far better than giving any freebees to some particular caste, religion or communities!!!

    What a waste of tax payers money on statutes theme park and ustsavas. There's no infrastructure in Karkala roads are in bad condition. High inflation unemployment GST on essential items, high electcity bill. This is to satisfy Andhbhakth and vote politics. Big Feku killed economy supporting Adani . Stock market crashed SBI .LIC public money looted . In Karnataka FDI investments are backing out from Bengaluru because of bad pathetic infrastructure. Instead fixing all major issues Bommai opening theme park. Shame on you BJP.

    Nothing but wasting public tax payers money on misplaced priorities. The amount could have been spent on improving condition of government hospitals and schools..... anyhow people are happy with statues....!!!!!.... Contractors are happy with windfalls.

    Bommai does not deserve to be a leader. He has no vision to take Karnatak forward. Bommai's idea of leadership is building statues to pander to Lingayats, Vokkaligas and now Brahmins.

    “A master plan will be drawn to promote culture and temple tourism in the coastal Karnataka in order to improve the economy, What about promoting mosque and church and other type of tourism? Why only temple tourism? I hope some other party wins the elections , a party who believes in Democracy

    Very nice. Tax payers and public money shared by Gujratis, 40% commission, and statue rest goes in buying MLAs and public gets same nuts. Still this bhakts dont understand what is happening. Public is squeezed like a lemon. Please understand dear public if you don't bring change in next election on karnataka we all will be in trouble. Please do something to happen for the betterment of kannadigas.

    Agree with Harish. These type of things are not priority. Farmers are committing suicide, many people don't even have money to fulfil their basic needs. Waste of money in the name of Karkala Utsava, Theme park, Malpe utsava, Kapu utsava, Atal utsava.
