Udupi: District BJP chief secretary Yashpal Suvarna said that Pramod Madhwaraj failed as MLA as well as Fisheries Minister resulting in his defeat.
“The district in charge minister during his term stood for a group of fishermen’s community and caused a rift among fishermen instead of solving the problems of unscientific method of fishing among them. The fishermen community had several expectations from him as he too came from among them. But he concentrated only on his self-interest. Voters near the sea have given suitable answer to him. He was challenging that he will win with a margin of 50,000 votes but the figures were embarrassing to him to come to the vote counting centre.
BJP win in the district was because of the hard work of our workers here. The party activists have worked with the principle that BJP is not for relishing power but for social change. Therefore, I thank personally for their efforts and every drop of their sweat," he said.
