Newskarnataka – Moodbidri

Moodbidri : Advocate Felix Cardoza who was participating in a meeting convened by the Mathra Bhoomi Samrakshana Samithi  opposing the proposed Ultra Mega Thermal Project at Niddodi  has  demanded that the  politicians contesting the elections should sign an affidavit stating that they  will not allow the project to come up and would resign if they fail to  prevent the project.

Speaking at the meeting held at Niddodi Bontalke Narayana Guru Hall on March 9, Sunday,  he said politicians and elected representatives were only giving assurances but were not making theirs stance clear.

The meeting resolved that  the candidates contesting the elections visit Niddodi prior to the elections and make clear their stance on the proposed project. It also resolved that the candidates after elected should participate in the protest organised by the Samithi and  declare that they oppose the project.

Felix Cardoza  also felt the need for a united fight against the project by taking even the elected representatives into confidence.

Samithi President Alphonse D’Souza, Honorary President Jagannath Shetty, Working President Poovappa Gowda,  Convenor Kiran Manjanabailu, Secretary Vinodhara Suvarna, Vice President Bhasker Devasya, Treasurer Narasimha and others were present.
