ALMATTI; 10 Oct: BJP State President and MP, Nalin Kumar Kateel has said that he would try to exert pressure on the Central Government with the help of Central Ministers, Prahalad Joshi and Sandanand Gowda to declare UKP-III as a national project.
Speaking to media persons before participating in the working committee meeting of the party, he said that the detailed project report related to the project would be submitted to the Central Government from the State government for approval.
He said that his party is giving more importance to irrigation projects of the State.

Mentioning about the coming Gram Panchayat polls, Kateel asked the party workers to prepare for the more number of candidates supported by the party to win in the polls.
“ All party workers must get united in the election battle. They should tell the achievements of the State and Central government and make them convinced to vote for the party’s supported candidates”, he said.
He said that because of the bad administration of the Congress-JD(S) coalition government, several of their MLAs quit their respective parties and joined the BJP.
