Shivamogga: Minister for Transport in the Karnataka Government and Shivamogga in charge Minister, D.C. Thammanna of the Janata Dal (S) Tammanna unfurled the tri-colour at the Shivamogga DAR ground at 9 am.

After unfurling the national flag, he told the gathering that “Patriotism should come from the heart, not just from the lips. The holiday we get on this day should not be compared to other holidays. We must think about the Nation’s betterment. We should move towards inclusive development. Already, CM Kumaraswamy has waived farmers loans and this will help them immensely. The Government already has many development schemes for Backwards, Dalits and minorities and this will uplift them manifold”

“From today onwards, the slogan go green will become a reality. The “Hasiru Karnataka “ scheme has been implemented to render sustainable development in Karnataka. Let us all take the pledge to work towards a green Karnataka”, he added with fervour.
Meanwhile commenting on issues plaguing society, he said “The social atmosphere must be good and it must be guided by the Constitution. Only the constitution must be the religion of the country” He went to talk about the elimination of corruption for a truly independent India: “Corruption must eradicated from our mind and our society, then only will we enjoy real independence our dreams will come true”.

“While the Government has waived farmers loans, and they are happy today, tragedy has struck again with heavy rains destroying their crops. There are deaths, flooded streets, people have lost homes. Rain does bring happiness but when it is in excess of what is required it can cause tragedy too. We must find answers to these natural calamities”, the minister said. He urged the crowd to sing the national anthem in one voice, as one nation, and they responded enthusiastically.

Later he addressed the media.

He told reporters that the road and airport infrastructure must be developed if the industry is to be attracted away from Bengaluru to the districts. Also proper industrial infrastructure is the key for which 20 acres of land is necessary, he said. The minister promised to take up the needs of the district with the concerned ministries and the Chief Minister and work towards bringing industry to Shivamogga district to enhance employment opportunities.

Then referring to his ministry, he promised to address all issues like shortage of busses, profitability and subsidized transport for the needy and filling of nearly 400 vacancies, which he said will be done in the coming months.

Deputy commissioner K Dayanand, Superintendent of Police Abhunavkhare MLA KS Eshwarappa, MLC Ayanuru Manjunath, MLC Rudre Gauda, and Nagraj Kankaari, Sheshadri, Vijyalakshmi and other prominent dignitaries were present.

Celebrations were also held across the various taluks of Shivamogga district.
