Udupi: Former chief minister M Veerappa Moily, said that the state government, under the leadership of chief minister, Siddaramaiah, has been providing good administration. He also sounded confident for the coming assembly elections and said that Congress will win Dakshina Kannada and Udupi district.

Addressing a meeting of block Congress presidents and office bearers held at the district Congress office at Brahmagiri on Wednesday October 26, he said, "

Our state is leading others as far was implementation of Swacch Bharat in industries and other such schemes are concerned. The twin-districts had remained bastions of the Congress in the past. Because of our own mistakes, we lost that position. We should not lose heart just because our party was defeated here and there. There have been many instances in which the party had recovered from such debacles and emerged stronger. In the coming assembly election, we will prove once again that Dakshina Kannada and Udupi remain in the stronghold of our party."

Attacking Modi, he said "We should realize that delivering speeches alone cannot win elections for him. Under him, the government has miserably failed and employment guarantee scheme has faced reverses."
