I am writing to seek your support in the forthcoming Loksabha Elections from Bangalore South Constituency. You have blessed me and elected me four times continuously. Because of your unstinted support, Atalji, the Statesman Prime Minister of this country assigned me several important portfolios.
Though the name Bangalore-South remains same, as you are aware, the erstwhile constituency consisted of areas from Jayanagar to Yashwantpur. However, Now, majority of IT belt is also added - from Koramangala to Hosur Road to Bannerghatta Road to JP Nagar to Padmanabhanagar and beyond.

Thank you for giving me the privilege of showcasing Namma Bengaluru to the Global Community. Carrying forward the vision of Atalji, let Bangalore be the beacon for the citizens of India.
Today, unfortunately India is mired in a series of crises like crisis of internal security, economic crisis, agricultural crisis, cultural crisis and crisis of Governance. The only hope, the only solution, the only way forward is Shri LK Advani led NDA and BJP both for India and Bangalore.
We need to think…
Think NATION FIRST, Act NATION FIRST, Make NATION FIRST

Now, I would like to draw your kind attention towards my vision for Bangalore. With BJP government at the state and NDA at the center, based upon my experience as vice chairman of ABIDe task force for the last 9 months, I would like to turn around Bangalore in the next three years and make it a role model Metropolitan City in the entire country and give it, its legitimate place on the world map.
I am preparing a Bangalore Action Plan that will be structured on 5 points, namely -
- A Stand-alone Act for BBMP
- Citizen Centric Governance
- Urban-Poor Development Program
- Comprehensive Bangalore Development Plan (CBDP)
- Preserving our Heritage and Environment
I am inspired by the “Kempegowda Vision” for the development of the city. We at BJP want to offer “Quality life” to people from all walks of life and we are determined to make it a reality.
Thank you for sparing your valuable time. I welcome your suggestions in this regard. Please write to me at ananth@ananth.org.
I would send further details of my elaborate plan shortly.
Nation First, BJP is the Best;
VOTE BJP
