It is victory for all BJP workers, says MLC-elect Kishore B.R.

Proud moment for BJP, says Nadda. It is a gift by voters for the failure of the Congress administration, says B.Y. Vijayendra

Kishore B.R. (Kishore Kumar Puttur) of the BJP who was elected to the Legislative Council in the byelection from Dakshina Kannada Local Authorities Constituency, which also covers Udupi district, said on Thursday, October 24, that his elevation is the victory of all BJP workers.

Speaking to press persons, he said that the party workers and leaders worked as a team for the victory.

Mr. Kishore said that he hailed from an agricultural family and hence he knew people’s problems. He will contribute to the strengthening of the panchayat raj system.

The MLC-elect said that people have understood that even a common party worker of the BJP can work for the welfare of people when elected.

Proud moment, says Nadda

The BJP national president J.P. Nadda posted on X that it is a proud moment for the BJP. “His (Mr. Kishore’s) story is a testament to our commitment to empowering grassroots leaders and ensuring social justice for all, especially the OBC communities. For decades, Congress and its so-called AHINDA leaders have nothing but exploited and scammed the OBC community. Congress minority appeasement politics has been at the cost of the OBC community. However, BJP has time and again proven that it is committed to uplifting and empowering the backward communities...”
