Politician swears by the common man

Chief Minister of Karnataka B.S. Yeddyurappa has declared that he will not contest elections again if he fails to bring about development in the state in general and Bangalore in particualar in the next five years.

Speaking in the presence of party leaders L.K.Advani and Rajnath Singh and the Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states, Mr.Yeddyurappa listed the development works taken up by him in Karnataka.

He said he would take steps to appoint a special committee to monitor the implementation of Nanjadappa Committee's recommendations on removing regional imbalances.

The first Metro rail would commence operations from 2010 while the complete work on the first phase of Metro would be completed by 2012.

Massive investment would be made on upgrading the roads in Bangalore and other parts of the state.

Taking a righteous stand, he challenged the Opposition Congress and the Janata Dal (S) who have changed his government with failure on all fronts to come to a public debate on the achievements of the Government.

Party General Secretary H.N.Ananth Kumar further asserted that the Congress and the Janata Dal (S) had not contributed to the development of Bangalore's infrastructure.
