Bhatkal: "A five-time Member of Parliament and Union Minister Anantkumar Hegde is a timid politician", roared Bhatkal MLA Mankal Vaidya addressing a huge crowd in Chief Minister's program in Bhatkal on 6th December, Wednesday.

He said, Hegde, only being an MP for namesake has not brought any developmental activities in the district. He is a coward politician. He should present development works done by him if he alleges for so.

Adding to it, he further said, "Anantkumar  haven't even tried to think of development in the district. The only thing he is able to do is to vomit controversial speeches which creates hatred in the society".
