BJP and SDPI candidates from Narasimharaja Assembly constituency in Mysuru viz., Sandesh Swamy and Abdul Majeed, who lost in the recent elections, have sought to turn the heat on the victorious Congress candidate Tanveer Sait to take up development works in the ‘backward’ constituency.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on Monday, Mr. Swamy regretted that the constituency has remained under-developed even though Mr. Sait has represented it for five successive terms and was recently elected for the sixth term.
He claimed that the constituency was home to a large number of slums and several people where shelter-less. Poverty may have helped Mr. Sait win the elections, but he should strive to develop the constituency and help its people by establishing educational institutions and healthcare facilities, he said.
