Addressing mediapersons at the district Congress office in Mangalore on Saturday, Vijayprakash Shetty, Former MLA, said that Mr. Palemar was wrongly taking credit for developmental works carried out by Zilla Panchayat and Mangalore City Corporation, besides neglecting the local corporators and Congress leaders.
The programme was organized with an intention to gain political mileage but people have not forgotten the role of Mr. Palemar's blue film blunder, the Belekeri Port scam, and sand mining, Mr. Shetty said. He also criticized former chief minister D V Sadananda Gowda and MP Nalin Kumar Kateel for heaping praises on Mr. Palemar.
Another Congress leader P V Mohan said that the CBI must question Mr. Palemar with regard to the Belekeri Port scam case.
Former Mayor Shashidhar Bhat said that Mr. Palemar is also responsible for the delay in Thumbay vented dam project's completion. At the moment 36 mld of water is being supplied to the city and there are chances of the water level dropping down to alarming levels in the month of January itself, he said.
