Nalinkumar Kateel, Mangalore MP.

20.05.10 : Two years ago frankly speaking, Nalin was as obscure BJP worker, not anymore. He was the David with the sling (BJP) who beat congress charismatic leader, BJP (I mean, Bantwal Janardana Poojary) of Loan mela and Kudroli temple fame, who was the Goliath in the 2008 Lok Sabha election battle. BJP (Poojary) relied on his 4 lakh Billava notes, yet fell on his back. Nalin became an overnight hero in mangalore BJP circles. He gets Rs.2 crores every year from Mps development Fund, thanks to a former pm, late P.V. Narasimha Rao. But does he spend Rs.4 crores on getting it? no local mp has ever revealed this fact from 1947 till now, and most of them (Poojary included) have not told the voters since 1992 as to whether they have spent any money on local development as MPs/MLAs since 1947, or if they depended only on state / central governments (Congress or otherwise) to spend on local developments of housing, roads, communications, power supply, civil food supplies under PDS, education health care and so on. For 2 years Nalin was busy painting his face, never ready to dance on the stage in front of his people, as in Yakshagana. But suddenly, he has put in a full page advertisement in an evening daily turned morning companion for daily Kannada news, that he (Nalin) was pro-people, responding, and earnest in shaping dreams of his voters in to a reality as their MP! Bravo! The ad is released in Akshaya Tritheeya, a Gold for women festival containing only men in a really! Obviously he is there among the men, but did not women vote for him? The present BJP govt in Karnataka is all male, 35 of them including CM. In what way does Nalinkumar Kateelu responds to woes of women as housemaids, housewives, school teachers, rural Anganawadi workers, and working unmarried girls? Do the youthful voters still rely on him as MP? Does he lead the state MPs in Lok Sabha on state plan implementations?
