Udupi: KPCC election campaign committee president D K Shivakumar expressed his confidence of Vinay Kumar Sorake winning in Kaup. He addressed party leaders and activists at meeting held in Rajiv Bhavan, Kaup on Wednesday.
“The sacrifice of Sorake is a model for us. Vinay Kumar Sorake has filled the position of veteran leader Janardhan Poojary in Congress. Sorake had sacrificed his position of the minister to give senior political leader Kagodu Thimmappa an opportunity. All should work towards sending him back to Vidhana Soudha once again,” he said.
Congress candidate, MLA Vinay Kumar Sorake said that Congress needed to come back to power to sort out problems faced by people in coastal region because of UPCL. “Though there is a law that electricity should be supplied for 24 hours where there is a thermal power plant, UPCL was not following it. They have bowed now to the orders of D K Shivakumar and are providing electricity in Kaup for 24 hours,” he said.
Congress Udupi district president Janardhan Thonse, former MLA U R Sabhapathi, minority development corporation president M A Gafoor, KPCC secretary Rajashekar Kotian, election campaign committee office bearers Faruque, Lavanya, Dinesh Puthran, Dinesh Kotian Palimar, party leaders Ashok Kumar Kodavoor, Kaup Diwaker Shetty, Udaya Shetty Muniyal, Geetha Wagle, M P Moideenabba, Harish Kini, H Abdulla, Vishwas Ameen, Shivaji Suvarna, Manhar Ibrahim, Harish Shetty Pangala and others were present.
