District in-charge minister M R Seetharam called upon the students to develop a scientific temper.

Speaking after inaugurating the mini Vidhana Soudha at Virajpet on Sunday, he said, “Public should exert pressure to accelerate public works, which are moving at a snail’s pace. A lot of development works have been initiated after the Siddaramaiah-led government came to power in the state.

Title deeds

The taluk authorities had received 3,900 applications seeking title deeds. Already, 2,459 title deeds have been distributed. The remaining will be distributed within 15 days.

The minister distributed title deeds to 121 beneficiaries on the occasion.

The students of Kaveri college presented cultural programmes as well.

BJP boycotts

The inauguration of mini Vidhana Soudha was scheduled at 11 am. As the minister arrived late, the programme started at 12.45 pm. BJP elected representatives, who had arrived on time, boycotted the programme citing they had other engagements.

Reacting to this, Seetharam said, “Politically-motivated behaviour does not speak well for anyone. Two programmes were fixed at 11 am. After taking part in a programme at Madikeri, I arrived at Virajpet.”
