Kaup: KPCC election campaign committee president D K Shivakumar claimed that sufficient developments in constituency will ascertain Sorake’s win in the upcoming legislative assembly elections. He was speaking at the meeting of party leaders and activists held in Rajiv Bhavan in Kaup on Wednesday, May 2.

He said that “sufficient developments have taken place in Kaup. Congress party will be supported by the people. That support should be converted as votes in favour of Congress party and it is the responsibility of party leaders and activists to make Congress party candidate Vinay Kumar Sorake win. All should join hands in this regard.”

“BJP people have the confidence that they will win. However, voters are prepared to make it false. Therefore, each leader from Congress should become an activist and take part in the campaign as if he himself is the candidate,” he observed.

“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 added.

Congress candidate, MLA Vinay Kumar Sorake said, “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,” and urged Congress needed to come back to power to sort out problems faced by people in coastal region because of UPCL.

Speaking about Congress relentless work for the progress of poor, Sandalwood film actor Sadhu Kokila said, “It is our duty to work for the success of Congress candidate and make Congress come back to power.”
