Jyothi Krishna Hebbar officially assumed charge as the president of the Udupi District Mahila Congress during an installation ceremony held on July 4 at Sri Narayana Guru Auditorium, Bannanje. The event also marked the induction of newly elected office bearers.

Karnataka Pradesh Mahila Congress president Sowmya Reddy, speaking at the event, stressed the importance of strengthening the party at the grassroots. Congress has always supported women’s empowerment. It is now time to create a model organisation that reaches every doorstep and spreads awareness about our guarantee schemes, she said. She also criticized the BJP, stating they promote division through caste and religion instead of delivering on promises.

MLC Manjunath Bhandary highlighted the need for a strong Mahila Congress to ensure the party’s continued success in the state. Former minister Vinay Kumar Sorake added that Congress stands for women’s economic upliftment and supports the ideals of socialism and secularism.

Outgoing president Geetha Wagle welcomed the gathering, while Satish Kodavoor and Sucharita Kaup conducted the proceedings.

The event was attended by several prominent Congress leaders, including former MP Jayaprakash Hegde, Udupi District Congress president Ashok Kumar Kodavoor, UDPA president Dinakar Heroor, KPCC spokesperson Veronica Cornelio, and other leaders like Prasad Raj Kanchan, Uday Kumar Shetty Muniyal, Dinesh Hegde Molahalli, and Mamata Gatti.

The ceremony was marked by enthusiasm and calls for unity and dedicated work toward the party’s goals.
