Mangaluru: The BJP members here staged a protest at the MCC Council meeting and in front of the MCC building against Mayor Kavitha Sanil for allegedly assaulting the watchman’s wife Kamala at her building premises on October 26.
BJP Corporators shouted slogans against the Mayor and demanded her to resignation.
Addressing the protestors, BJP north block president, Vedavyas Kamath said,”MCC administration had utterly failed in delivering development works in Mangaluru. Mayor Kavitha Sanil is known for giving only statements to the media. People do not benefit from this. Assaulting the wife of watchman at the apartment in Bejai is a shameful act. The Mayor denied the allegations and filed counter case against the wife of the watchman,”
BJP Corprorator and former Mayor Ganesh Hosabettu went on to mock the Mayor stating that she had inaugurated a Karate event right at her own building instead of at a public place.
However, the Mayor later said that she is an ardent devotee of Goddess Kateel Shree Durgaparameshwari and let the Goddess ensure justice in the case.
