Join me for ‘Plan Bengaluru’

Dear Bangalorean,

Hearty greetings to you. 

I am overwhelmed at the response which I got through emails sent by you. Accept my apologies, for my inability to respond to each one of you in person, though I have tried my level best to reply to each of you personally.

I could sum up the crux of your replies as follows.

  1. What will you do for Bengaluru, if you are voted for the fifth time?
  2. Can my travel time to office and back be reduced considerably?
  3. Can you do something to reduce the pollution, I am forced to breathe?
  4. Can I have uninterrupted power supply throughout the year?
  5. Can I be guaranteed pure drinking water at all times in my tap?
  6. Can I move around in peace, doing my job, without fear or tension?
  7. Can I have the green cover, which Bangalore boasted of a few years ago?

These have been asked by several well-wishers and lovers of this once beautiful city. I state “once beautiful”, with some sense of embarrassment and a deep concern for the city where I was born. The past 50 years of congress misrule have reduced not just Bengaluru, but all major cities into a challenge for reformers.

Friends, the blueprint for a Comprehensive Bangalore Development Plan (CBDP) is being prepared. Your queries are timely as I am in the process of finalizing this plan for Bengaluru.

To re-establish the beauty of Bengaluru, would be the duty of any elected member and I promise you that the BJP at the center and BJP in the State would make this matter much easier to achieve. Building Bengaluru back to its erstwhile glory is a matter of duty for me and needless to say this is already an action item on top of my agenda. ABIDe is one determined step in this direction.

The following is a glimpse of what I plan for Bangalore ..

  • Citizen Centric Governance: Citizens Participation - “Citizen-Connect”, Upgradation of Public Utility Services, Safe & Potable Drinking Water, Integrated Mass Transport System - Better coordination between BMTC, KSRTC, Train, Metro & Airport.
  • Urban poor : Health Insurance for under privileged , Mobile Clinics, Implementation of Telemedicine, Health awareness programs. Low cost housing projects for urban poor,
  • Quality Infrastructure of Global Standards: Top class roads, wide footpaths, street lights that work, Wi-max zones for Bangalore, Introduction of 3G Telecom Services, People friendly Parking and Traffic Management, Online payment of utility bills, Dedicated Power Plant for Bangalore.
  • Safe and Secure Bangalore: Creation of Citizen Charters for Safe -Secure Bangalore, Increased night patrolling; special security for working women traveling late hours.
  • Clean - Green Environment: Promoting Rainwater harvesting; Steps to improve ground water table, Promoting plantation in public utility places - ‘One Family One Tree’, Public Transport run by CNG, Adding many more parks.

More details of my Bangalore agenda would be available on my website http://www.ananth.org/ very soon. Let me know your valuable thoughts. Your response would inspire me to work, more stronger than ever.

Come. Be a part of “TEAM BENGALURU”.

Yours sincerely

AnanthKumar

Nation First, BJP is the Best

  • As I was going through your blog there was a quote” Think nation first, Act nation first, make nation first”, But first you have to think Karnataka first, Act Karnataka first, make Karnataka first. After that only nation.
    Why I mean to say this?
    Because from past 20 years regional parties like DMK, AIADMK, RJD, TDP, SP have a great say on all decision taken by central government, due to this state like Karnataka getting step motherly treatment from the central government because of national thinking of people of Karnataka and representative from Karnataka like ananth kumar have been mute spectator, because of this we did not got justice from any party in central may be UPA or NDA,so people of Karnataka as to rethink before voting to any candidate whether he is capable of representing and understand the sentiments of kannada people.

  • I know anathkumar is a good parliment member But
    NIMMA OBBARINDA DESHA UDDARA SADYANA!.
    anyway good bless you anathji.

  • Respected Sir (Ananthkumar),
    I am putting my thoughts here with a very clear frame of mind of why should I vote you or not.
    Dont you think, somewhere in the corner of your mind that you are thinking Brahmin votes would be in your favour. Arent you almost taking advantage of them. Though I live in USA currently, I am in touch with most of my family members who live around Basavanagudi. I was thinking it is only me thinking about Krishna Byregowda, surprisingly NO. Their most prominent reason to not vote you this time is to vote you back in the election after the CURRENT. And to let you know, dont people for granted and be accessible.You might to very close to Advani or Vajapayee. That is good for you. But where have people seen in between Elections. No where. I quote what you said, you will raise the voice of Karnataka in Loksabha. Is just raising the voice going to solve the problem…You didnt need 4 victories to request yet another time to raise a voice.I am sorry to say this yet another time, you may not find the same response as it has been these past victories..I am only trying to understand the thoughts of the people I have known who have voted you. This time around, I see a very consistent opinion…Not Ananth this time, let him realise that nobody can be taken for granted…Good luck to you anyways.

  • Dear Ananth,

    To tell you the bitter truth, BJP has done no good to the country other than following the British rule, “DIVIDE and RULE”. There is nothing that is going to come good out of BJP other than evil. Babari Masjid, Malegaon Blast, Kandhamal massacare, Mangalore atrocities…. are just to name a few…. The leaders of BJP spits venom…. Look at Advani, Modi, Muthalik…They have no other issues other than attacking fellow countrymen…..If you can’t love fellow countrymen, how do you think they will unite India…. It will be a disaster for the country if communal forces like BJP will come to power….I strongly think that you should stop propagating a communal force….QUIT BJP and SAVE INDIA….

    I know you will not reply to me, but i guess you can at least know what a common man think of BJP.

  • I am not a Kannadiga but I hope this blog will be in Kannada and will continue regularly even after elections.

  • best of luck sir

  • What is your comments on your Manifesto : Build Temple at Ayodhya (at the demelition site of Masjid ) ??

  • Dear Anantji,

    Nice to read your blog and ideas. I have a suggestion. Recently I was reading about BJP leaders (including Modiji) highlighting Congress for it’s failures for last 100+ years. It is better to isolate Sonia congress, most corrupt and anti-national party and not to club it with Nehru -shastri-patel-indira time. Also why nobody is highlighting Mahatma’s wish to disband congress party after independence, after fulfilling its mandate to avoid selfish crooks to use congress name and its past sacrifice by freedom struggle to further their interests? That is what happening now. BJP should pressurise congress not to use freedom fighters sacrifice and national flag to its current corrupt lots advantage. The congress that got us freedom belongs to all Indians and has absolutely nothing to do with Sonia congress or pawar or Mamata congress.

    Thanks,

  • Dear sir,
    When we hear BJP word, common thought comes in mind, it is a party for Hinduism, not for Nationalism. because what it was created neusence in Ayodhya issues. still i remember how much we struggle to go school and reach back to home during theese period. how much fear, how much rejection we had during those period is unexpresable.
    Recentnly, My Master, His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankar founder of Art Of Living, one of his private meeting ask us to vote for BJP. His words are LAW for me. I ready to obey his sentence.
    Still some doubts flow in mind, how much BJP is useful to ALL(not only for Hindu). i wread in newspaper BJP is having Ayodhya issues in thier Agenda. If we get assurance to drop it, we may campain for BJP.
    God bless you all for your sincere service to human beings.
    Thanks.
    with regards

    ೧. ನೀವು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಿಂದ ನಾಲ್ಕು ಬಾರಿ ಚುನಾಯಿತರಾಗಿದ್ದೀರ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳ್ಕೊಂಡ್ರೆ ಅದು ನಮಗೆ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನ ಮತ್ತೊಮ್ಮೆ ಚುನಾಯಿಸಬೇಕು ಎಂಬುದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗತ್ತೆ ಅಂತ ಭಾವಿಸಿದೀರ?

    ೨. ಸರಿ, ನಾವು ನಿಮಗೇ ಮತ ಹಾಕ್ತೀವಿ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋಣ. ಆದ್ರೆ ನೀವು ಕೇಂದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪಕ್ಷ ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದರೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಏಳಿಗೆ ಸಾಧ್ಯ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿರುವ ಹಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಮಂಜಸ? ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಸುತ್ತಲಿನ ಕಸ ಹೋಗಲೆಂದು ನೀವು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಬೇಕೋ, ಅಥವಾ ದಿಲ್ಲಿಯ ಮೋರಿ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿರಬೇಕೆಂದು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಬೇಕೋ?

    ೩. ಅಕಸ್ಮಾತ್ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪಕ್ಷ ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರವನ್ನು ಸಾಧಿಸದೇ ಹೋದಲ್ಲಿ, ವರ್ಷಗಟ್ಟಲೆ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನೇ ನಾವು ಚುನಾಯಿಸಿ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನ ಏನು?

    ೬. ಕಾಳಜಿ ಇದೆ, ಅದು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೇವೆ, ಇದು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೇವೆ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳುವಾಗ, ಮುಂದಿನ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಯಾಗಿರಲು, ನೀವು ಕನ್ನಡ ನಾಡಿನ ಜ್ವಲಂತ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳಾದ ನದಿ-ನೀರಿನ ಹಂಚಿಕೆ, ನದಿ-ನೀರಿನ ಬಳಕೆ, ಶಿಕ್ಷಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಬೆಲೆ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಊರುಗಳಿಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡದೇ ಹೆಸರುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವಿಕೆ, ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನೊಳಗೆ ದೇಶದ ಮಿಕ್ಕೆಲಗಳಿಂದ ಅನಿಯಂತ್ರಿತ ವಲಸೆ ತಡೆಗಟ್ಟಲು ಕಾನೂನು, ಮಹಾಜನ್ ವರದಿ ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನ, ಮಹಿಷಿ ವರದಿ ಅನುಷ್ಠಾನ, ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಲ್ಲಿ ಔದ್ಯೋಗಿಕ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆ ನಿರ್ಮೂಲನ, ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಲ್ಲಿ ದುಡಿಮೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಉದ್ದಿಮೆಗಾರಿಕೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಲು ಯೋಜನೆ - ಇವುಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಗಮನ ಹೇಗೆ ಹರಿಸುವಿರಿ? ಅಥವಾ ಹೀಗೆ ಈಗ ಬರೆದಿರುವುದನ್ನೇ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಕಡೆ ಓದಿ, ಇವುಗಳನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಬಗೆಹರಿಸುವೆ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳುವಿರಾ? ಇದನ್ನೇ ಬಳಸಿ ಮತ ಗೆಲ್ಲುವ ಕನಸು ಬಿಡುವಿರೋ ಅಥವಾ ಮತ್ತೊಬ್ಬ ಅಭ್ಯರ್ಥಿಯೆನಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವಿರೋ, ಬಿಡಿ-ಬಿಡಿಯಾಗಿ ತಿಳಿ ಹೇಳಿ..

    ನೀವು ಈ ನಾಡಿಗೆ ಏನೂ ಕೆಟ್ಟದ್ದನ್ನು ಮಾಡಬಯಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂತ ನಂಬಿರುವೆ. ಆದರೆ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು ಏನು ಅಂತ ನಿಮಗೆ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳಿಂದಲೇ ತಿಳಿಯಬೇಕು. ಯಾಕೆಂದರೆ ಕಳೆದ ಐದು ವರ್ಷಾವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನೀವು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳ ಜ್ವಲಂತ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳೇನು ಅಂತ ಕೇಳಲು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರೇ ಅಲ್ಲದ ಒಬ್ಬಿಬ್ಬರ ಮೋರೆ ಹೋಗಿ, ಅಬೈಡ್ ನಂತಹ ಕನ್ನಡ ನಾಡನ್ನೇ ಅರ್ಥ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳದವರ ಒಂದು ಸಂಸ್ಥೆ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಹಾಗಾಗಿ, ಮೇಲೆ ಹೇಳಿರುವಂತ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗನ ಏಳಿಗೆಗಾಗಿಯೇ ಯೋಚನೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿರುವ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳನ್ನೇ ನೀವು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಾನಿಫೆಸ್ಟೋ ಅಂತ ಭಾವಿಸಿ ದುಡಿಯುವ ಮಾತು ಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ ನಿಮಗೆ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ದಕ್ಷಿಣದ ಸುಮಾರು ೫೦%ರಷ್ಟು ಮತ ಖಚಿತ! ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಒಬ್ಬ “ನಿಜವಾದ” ಕನ್ನಡಿಗನ ಗ್ಯಾರೆಂಟಿ ಕೊಡುವೆ. ದಿಲ್ಲಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡ್ವಾಣಿಗೋ ಇನ್ಯಾರಿಗೋ ಮುಗಿಬೀಳುವುದರ ಬದಲು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ದಕ್ಷಿಣದ ಒಬ್ಬ ಹಿರಿಯ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗನಿಗೆ ಮುಗಿಬೀಳಿ, ಈ ಜನರ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗೆ ಮುಗಿಬಿದ್ದು, ಅದನ್ನು ಬಗೆಹರಿಸಿ. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಡ್ವಾಣಿ ಮತ್ತು ಮೋದಿಗಳೂ ಅದನ್ನೇ ಅವರ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿರೋದು. ನೀವೂ ಅದನ್ನೇ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿ.. ನಾಲ್ಕು ಏಕೆ, ನಲ್ವತ್ತು ಬಾರಿಯೂ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಗೆಲುವು ನಿಮ್ಮದೇ ಆಗಲಿ ಎಂದು ನಾನೇ ಹರಸುವೆ ಆಗ :)

    ನಿಮಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡದಿಂದಲೇ, ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲೇ ಜಯವಾಗಲಿ.

  • No doubt Mr. Ananthkumar is a capable and the most efficient parliamentarian. His exposure in the national interest appears to be more than the state. It is high time that Mr. Ananthkumar will also give much of his time to the local issues and to the constituency to which he has been elected by the people. Trusting your aides can do little - But if you yourself jump into the field can do wonders. Please do be reachable to people you are a wonderful leader and voice of karnataka.
    All the very best for and may lord bless you to serve the people of Bangalore south and Nation as a whole

  • Saar,

  • ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೀ ಸಹಿ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು, ಇಲ್ಲ ಮನೆ ಮುಂದೆ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ನಾಮಫಲಕಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಸೀಮಿತಾನ ಕನ್ನಡ ??. ನಿಮ್ಮ ವೆಬಸೈಟ್ ಯಾಕೆ ಕನ್ನಡಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲ ??. ಮೊದಲ ರಾಜಕರೀಣಿ ವೆಬಸೈಟ್ , ಬ್ಲಾಗ್ ಅನ್ನೊ ಹೆಗ್ಗಳಿಕೆ ಬೇರೆ ನಿಮಗೆ ಆದರೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ಬಳಸಬೇಕು ಅನ್ನೊ ಸಾಮನ್ಯ ಅಂಶ ನಿಮಗೆ ಬರದಿರುವುದು ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಖೇದನೀಯ.

  • Mr. Ananth Kumar,

    I am very glad to see your website and i must say it is pretty good. I hope you continue to blog ( after elections).

    I completely agree with BJP remarks on UPA as they have failed in many issues, most important security and I know that BJP/NDA is the answer for this.

    In fact when the candidates names were released for Bangalore South constituency, I wanted to vote for Congress as they had a fielded an youngster. But you see it is important to see which party comes to the center.
    All the best, you have my vote

  • plz do some thing gud ! its not Plz do some thing gud !!! its U should do some thing gud in the future!!!!
    Hope U wil stick to it !!!

    Hoping for the betterment
    Thank u Ananthji!!!!

  • Dear Ananthji,
    I happened to see your blog in the net. I wish you all the best in the coming parliamentary elections. Though my mother tongue is Kannada,i am living in mumbai. Recently i have purchased a house in Bangalore,as a pre plan investment for a post retirement plans, in the place called Dr.Shivram Karant nagar, near Hegde nagar. Our place is 6 Kilometres from Yelahanka and 2 kilometres from Thanisandra.
    My interest of blogging to you is to suggest you the feasiblity of introducing an electric suburban services between Yelahanka and Bangalore city. Two tracks are already exists now.Millions of people who are living in these areas will be benefitted,and will reduce the burden of state run busses.Kindly think over. Also suggest you to upgrade the Yelahanka station with all fecilities. One has to go all the way to book railway tickets to cantonement or city stations.As per the bus services why dont you connect Yelahanka directly with south bangalore, via, Karanth nagar,Amruthahalli,Hebbal,RT nagar …At present we have to take a roundable route. This route will be faster. Once again i wish you good luck in coming elections.

  • Dear Ananthji,

    The RBI relaxed the FEMA guidelines after the UPA came to power relaxing investment in real estate. Portfolio investment was allowed, NRIs were allowed to buy more than one house. As a result, too much foreign money came into real estate sector pushing the real estate prices from 1000 Rs. per sq. ft. to 4000 Rs. sq. feet.
    our people have bought the flats at exhorbitant rates while the investors have taken away their money after selling the flats/houses. Recession came in. Jobs were lost. Our people are finding difficult to repay the loans. While flats rate have come down a little, ground prices still are high. Can a common man think of buying flat/house in future. Certainly not. This UPA government of Aam Admi done more damage to Aam Admi than helping him. No body speaks about this. If projected properly people will teach a lesson to UPA.

    PM Manmohan Singh accused the opposition leader Shri. LK Advani crying from corner when Babri Masjid was demolished. But what this PM has done. Sent troops and given logistics support to Sri Lankan Military to committ genocide. Who will espouse this.

    All the best.

    “ಸಂಸತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಧ್ವನಿ” ಎಂಬ ಶೀರ್ಷಿಕೆಯಡಿ ನೀವು ಹಾಕಿರುವ ಘನಕಾರ್ಯಗಳ ಪಟ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇದನ್ನೂ ಸೇರಿಸಿರುವುದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಸಂಸತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೇವಲ ಮಾತಾಡುವುದೇ ಸಾಧನೆ ಅಂತ ಕಾಣುತ್ತೆ. ಸಂಸತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವುದೇ ಒಂದು ವರದಿಯ “ಹಿಂದಿ ಮತ್ತು ಆಂಗ್ಲ” ಪ್ರತಿಗಳನ್ನ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತಪಡಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕೇನು ನಾವು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ದಕ್ಷಿಣದಿಂದ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕಳೆದ ಬಾರಿ ಚುನಾಯಿಸಿ ಕಳಿಸಿದ್ದು? ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಜನರಿಗೆ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜನರಿಗೆ ಹೀಗೇ ನಿಮ್ಮ “ಸೇವೆ” ಮುಂದುವರಿಯುತ್ತದೆ ಅಂತ ನೀವು ಹೇಳಿದರೆ, ಕ್ಷಮಿಸಿ ಸಾರ್.. ಇದು ನಮಗೆ ಬೇಡ್ವೇ ಬೇಡ.

    ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಚುನಾಯಿತ ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಯಾಗಿ ನೀವು ಹೀಗೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕನ್ನಡ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷಿಸುವ, ಸಂಸತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಬಳಸದಂತ ಸಂಕುಚಿತ ಮನೋಭಾವ ವ್ಯಕ್ತ ಪಡಿಸುವುದಾದರೆ, ಹಿಂದಿಗೆ ಬೇಕಿಲ್ಲದ ಬೆಲೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟು, ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಬೆಲೆಯೇ ಕೊಡದೆ ಹೋದರೆ, ನಮ್ಮ ಮತ ನಿಮಗೆ ಖಂಡಿತವಾಗಿಯೂ ಇರಲ್ಲ.

    ನಿಮಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡದಿಂದಲೇ, ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲೇ ಜಯವಾಗಲಿ.

  • How come the renaming proposal - Bengaluru, Mysooru, Kalburgi, etc not really implemented? This is dissappointing? Please stive to protect Kannada and the local culture. Today Bengaluru serves for outsiders of Karnataka more than it serves the locals.

  • By the time, I am writing my comment the election voting for Bangalore south would have started…And I am 200% sure..Ananth would be not interested to check the blog any more. Ananthji please prove me wrong…By the way is Hon’ble Ananthkumar checking this blog?

  • Good to read about ananth kumar. but its more interesting to read about the work done by Ananth kumars wife. she is doing the real good work for the needy. I pray god that she continue to do all the good work she is being doing “providing food to poor and needy”

  • Dear Sir,

    You are contesting from Karnataka. Can we have the blog in Kannada also.

  • ಅನಂತಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರೇ,
    ಕರ್ನಾಟಕವನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುವ ನಾಯಕರಾಗಿ ನೀವೇ ಕನ್ನಡವನ್ನು ಮರೆತರೆ ಹೇಗೆ? ನಿಮ್ಮ ತಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡವೇ ಇಲ್ಲವೇಕೆ?

  • namaskara Ananthre,

    Kanditha neevu gedde gelluthiri. Namma matha nimige :)

  • Dear Ananthkumar,

    Why is that your leaders like MR.Jaitley could not speak countering the acts of congress whenever they charge at your party in the national level.

    When the facts are as under :

    You can atleast as the party’s general secretary make the people understand the facts which now a history.

    There are 10 crores youngsters, first time voters coming to the electorate who requires proper briefing about the incidences where in the congress is unnecessrily beyond the truth are passing accusations and your party leaders rather than countering it or in loss of words or memory to give befitting replies.

    Please take note of the memory lane which are as under :-
    we know what type of people support Congress, we have one example in front of us, i.e; The congress to save one Rubiya Sayeed the congress left off terrorist, and they justify that!! Then what is wrong in saving the lives of 161 Passengers by releasing 3 terrorists, Mr Jaswant Singh risked his own life to bring back 161 Indians Alive, During 26/11 attack in Mumbai your Raul vinci was busy Partying (may be at Amnesia along with Renuka Choudhary) and Mr ManMohanSing and Shivraj patil visited Mumbai after 48 hrs of attack!!! Modi visited Mumbai before them!!!! We Lost 180 Indians and caught one terrorist Kasab,whom along with Afzal, Cong is treating ROYALLY, Abhishek Manu is HMV(her master’s voice) without his own Soul and Self Respect. Congressmen why did they visit Mumbai so late?? Don’t they value the Live’s of INDIAN’s???

    The only mistake made by NDA was Jaswant Singh travelling by the same plane which carried the Militants. Was it due to Logistcal issues ? It did look odd. However one should remember that Mufti Mohammed Sayeed (then of Congress and then a Congress ally) got militants released to save his daugher Rubaiya Sayeed. Why is Congress not talking about it ? Here atleast 200 innocents were saved. Even Duraiswamy of Indian Oil was saved like this only. Also why dont the Indian Airlines passengers who were saved speak in support of Advani. It is not fair to criticize Advani for this. Punjab problem was the result of Indira Gandhi supporting Bhindranwale to dismiss the Akali government. The Congress has no moral right since most the problems faced by the country are created by them

    The following facts have to be first remembered before Kandahar issue is raised 1) The Indian Airlines plane was hijacked due to security lax at Katnmandu Airport in Nepal, when weapons were transferred from a PIA plane which had arrived from Pakistan. 2)Eventhough the plane did re-fuel at Chandigrah, the Government had very little time to react and send Commandos 3) The Plane was eventually hijacked to Kandahar in Afghanistan, which was completed under Taliban rule, after a stop over in Dubai, where Rupen Katyal’s body was thrown 4) There were 200 innocents passengers on board the plane, which could have been easily blow-up 5) There was tremendous pressure put up by the relatives on TV to get the passengers released. The NDA Government was hence under compulsion to reluctantly release the 3 terrorists, for which you cannot blame the Home Minister, as the hijack happened due to security lapse at Kathmandu.Moreoever did’nt Mufti Mohammed Sayeed (then of Congress and then a Congress ally) get his work done by releasing the terrorists for his lone daughter.

    Congress does not know how to rule the country peacefully and wants to enjoy power only by dividing the country between Muslims and other communities. Kandhara episode of a Minister accompanyimng terrorists was in the interest of protecting the lives of many innocent passemngers and airplane. If the terrorists had blasted the plane not only the plane but also innocent people would have been klled alongwith the people who were near the whole area would have been killed and destroyed. This was carefully arranged to save the lives and properties in country and public interest. Is it not a shame for protecting Afzal Guru even after the verdict of Supreme court. Chidambaram says 28 cases are pending for Presidents decision. When we have politiins ministers Prime minister, is it not a shame to keep cases pending for years. Congress hidden agenda is to appease Muslims and those who protect ciminals and terrorists are traitors are only . Congress is unfit to rule the country safely and peacfully
    Talk about recent Taj, where Congress got killed 200 Indians through their Jihadis. BJP saved life of 160 Indians.

  • Ananth kumaravare,

    It’ll be toughest competition in Bangalore south. I am From Mandya, staying in bangalore south. A single person can’t to everything at one shot. Anyhow, at least your raising kannada voice though many things not come to the reality show.

    What I would request is, if you elected, please do a favor to farmers by promoting “Zero budget Natural Farming by Subash paalekhar”. That will be really boost to the farmers and I am sure farmers will definitely feed the rest with no poison and maintain the good environment. That itself improve the economy condition of the farmers and off course state and country. If you are interested on this course please go through this link in your free time (you have to make yourself free):

    Good luck!

  • Srimaan Ananth,
    I have been a supporter of BJP all along and have admired you. But now I am filled with despair due to the following points :
    1. The Reddy brothers are allowed to do as they please. They are reportedly looting Karnataka’s natural wealth. They have bigger designs and we kannadigas and BJP are just mute spectators. It is Bellary for now and next in line are Raichur and Chitradurga !! Shame !!
    2. The allegations of altering the border with Karnataka and including our land with Andhra by the Reddy brothers is such a disgusting thing reported with proof in several news papers - but you are silent. Do you care about Karnataka or not ?
    3. Slowly the growing influence of Andhra oriented Telegu politicians is increasing in Karnataka. They are brash and openly support Telugu. You are silent.
    4. It is reported that most contracts in government is going to Andhra due to the blessing of the Reddy brothers and you continue to be silent.
    5. You preside over meetings organized to get Telugu people at one place and share the dias with Venkaiah Naidu who addressed the gathering in Telugu and was stopped by a protest from karave activists. Silence again.
    6. The bridge in Hampi collapsed and the contractor responsible from Hyderabad was not exactly taken to task. The Reddy brothers have a Knack of pushing things under the carpet. You know about this - don’t you ?
    7. The looting of Karnataka resources will continue to happen by people of Andhra origin with a govenment like BJP which seems like is itself patronizing Andhra.
    8. Telugu and Kannadiga people have had a harmonious relationship and we never really differentiated especially with a lot of luminaries who have done yeomen service to Kannada being Telugu speaking. But the recent developments after BJP came to power in state have created a doubt in the mind of Kannadigas.
    9. So many Telugu movie posters and theaters showing telugu movies in Bengaluru - But show me one Kannada movie in Hyderabad ? Why Kannadigas living in Hyderabad are deprived ? Why this misplaced generosity from Kannadigas which has given us nothing except exploitation by others ? Don’t we have self respect ? Please answer what you will do about this.
    11. Please do not respond to this with a statement like “India is one and we should care for India first”. Kannadigas know this better than anybody else and need no lessons on how to be hospitable or how to behave when living outside state. What do say Ananthji ?
    10. Save Karnataka from Andhra…..my humble request, kalakali….to you Anant avare !!

    That is all for now…Manohar

  • Dear Mr. Ananth Kumar,
    All the Best for the Elections.
    One strong point I want to bring it to your kind notice that, many people are asking about BJP’s assurance about supply of Rice and Wheat at reduced price, Tax exemption upto 3 Lacs and so on!BJP is never bothered about how it is going to collect the amount for all these. Please putforth the points on how you people are going to mobilise the large sum without burdening our economy. If the response comes from top leadership of BJP like Mr. Advani or Mr. Jaitely, the reaction would be wonderful.

  • Mr. Manohar,

    Thanks for bringing out so many points, especially the Reddy brothers. Though I am a Bengali, Karnataka has been my place for over 48 years.

    We in Karnataka have been amongst the most peaceful people in India for ages.

    However, over the past few years, we find that money power is playing its part BRAZENLY under this present government which is a shame.

    Everyone had thought that the BJP would be more disciplined but the only thing we have now got to see is money being made by the concerned in every aspect—road building, drain cleaning, hoardings, awarding of contracts, wholesale transfer of officials in admn and police………..the only target for the BJP in Karnataka is to raise money to fund the national election……

    Interference in administration by the religious heads has reached unparalled heights and now the once highly acclaimed and the most transparent CET is also likely to get abolished. Which means more money exchanging hands and merit be damned…….

    First Gowda and now BSY………God save Karnataka

  • Ananth Kumar Ji, Wish you Best of Luck for the 5th Term. I am sure You will win and make us all win.
