My self-respect was hurt. So I will come to a conclusion on March 27. MLC Laxman Savadi appealed to the Muslim community to always stand by him. He was speaking after convening a meeting of Muslim leaders at Nooral community hall in Athani town of the district.
I was sitting at home. But some people are not allowing me to sit. So I have come before you. Your opinion is important to me. It’s like do or die. I will call a meeting of leaders of all communities in the taluk by The 27th. If they wants to contest elections from Athani, I will ask for a ticket in the party, he said. If the party high command doesn’t want me, I will walk in their footsteps. The Muslim community of Athani taluka is etched in my heart. I will get the consent of all communities and inform the party. I am confident that 100 per cent party will not give up on me, Savadi said.
You have met with many of your ideas. When I am alone, I ask myself some questions. After I was elected as an MLA for the first time, the area was deprived of irrigation. I had requested the then CM Dharam Singh to formulate an irrigation scheme. However, he claimed that Rs 45 crore was released.
No matter which party. I remember sinful ones. He praised former chief minister Dharam Singh, saying he has done it for those who did it. Athani has developed because of him and many other political leaders. Politics should be done with a vision. There is no use in doing politics on your own, he said.
