Mangaluru, Aug 12: Congress veteran B Janardhana Poojary has warned chief minister Siddaramaiah against neglecting BJP supremo Amit Shah’s strategies for upcoming assembly polls.

Speaking to media persons here on Saturday, the former union minister said that CM should wake up from and tender his resignation. 

“Siddaramaiah should realise that Amit Shah has come to the State to unseat the former. The visit of BJP chief was a matter of concern for the Congress and more so Siddaramaiah. Wherever Shah has toured, the ruling party’s Chief Minister has been unseated,” Poojary said.

He said that in spite of the severe drought, Siddaramaiah has so far not found time to tour the affected regions of the State. “I am really shocked by his recent statement on drought following a visit to an affected place.”

Poojary also said that Siddaramaiah should pave way for a Dalit leader or D.K. Shivakumar to become Chief Minister. The party high command has a good opinion of Mr. Shivakumar, who has stood by the party during difficult times. “Both Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have appreciated Mr. Shivakumar,” he said and added that Mr. Shivakumar would become the Chief Minister in the coming days.

Poojary said the ongoing investigation by the Income Tax department on the assets of Mr. Shivakumar will not come in the way of his becoming the Chief Minister.

Mangaluru: Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar emphasized the urgent need for local job creation and a dedicated tourism policy to address communal tensions and rejuvenate the Dakshina Kannada region. 

He spoke during "Ashoka Jan-Mana," a clothing distribution event organized by Rai Estates Educational and Charitable Trust, under the leadership of MLA Ashok Rai, at Kombettu’s taluk stadium in Puttur on Saturday.

“There are challenges to communal harmony across the coastal and interior regions of Dakshina Kannada. To counter these issues, we must provide opportunities for our youth," Shivakumar stated. "The government is considering a specialized tourism policy for the coastal areas to attract more visitors and retain local talent."

Shivakumar expressed concern about a rising trend among local youth to migrate to Saudi Arabia, Mumbai, and Bengaluru due to limited job opportunities in the area. "Communal disturbances have also discouraged students from other districts from enrolling in our institutions, and several banks that originated here have closed down," he said.

Highlighting the region's potential, Shivakumar remarked, “Dakshina Kannada is home to many temples and boasts a rich coastline. Yet, despite Mangaluru having a major port, we still lack five-star hotels. Developing tourism here will be essential for creating jobs and fostering harmony.”

He also hinted at development projects proposed by Ashok Rai for Puttur, which are currently under wraps due to by-election restrictions. Assuring commitment, Shivakumar said, “Although we secured only two seats in Dakshina Kannada, we are committed to developing all constituencies in the region.”

The Deputy Chief Minister concluded with a powerful message on leadership, likening Ashok Rai to a modern embodiment of ancient virtues. “For success, one should have Dharmaraya's righteousness, Karna's generosity, Arjuna's focus, Vidura's ethics, Bhima's strength, and Krishna's strategy. Ashok Rai has all these qualities," he said, praising Rai’s dedication to the people of Dakshina Kannada.
