The CM recalls it was the BJP which released funds for the revival of the defunct Mysugar factory in Mandya and announced that ethanol production will also be started from this year to benefit the sugarcane cultivators of the region
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday, March 12, expressed confidence of a ‘’change’’ in Mandya in the days ahead in view of the development works in Karnataka enabled by the BJP-led ‘’double engine government’’.
He was speaking at Gejjalgere in Mandya where Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway project and also laid the foundation for the Mysuru-Kushalnagar four-lane highway works.
Mr. Bommai was alluding to the elections slated to be held in due course and appealed to the people of the region to ‘’bless’’ the BJP in the coming days.
‘’You have tested every party since 30 years and compare their work with the development initiated by the BJP in four years. Check the report card and bless us. We are committed to make iMandya the number one district in the country,’’ said Mr. Bommai.
The BJP has drawn a blank in Mandya which is reckoned to be the bastion of the Janata Dal (Secular) which won all the seven seats in the 2018 Assembly elections with the Congress being a formidable challenger. The BJP’s hope to return to power in the State hinges on the party shoring up its tally in the south Karnataka region. Hence, the focus on the district and the expressway was inaugurated in Mandya while a mega diary plant was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the district in December.
Mr. Bommai recalled that it was the BJP which released funds for the revival of the defunct Mysugar factory in Mandya and announced that ethanol production will also be started from this year to benefit the sugarcane cultivators of the region.
He said people question the contribution of the double engine government but the Centre and the State government have released ₹20,000 crore to benefit 53 lakh farmers in the State while 17 lakh people have benefited from the PM Awas Yojana and the work was in progress.
