BJP’s Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha candidate, Capt. Brijesh Chowta, has expressed his intention to correct the ‘communally sensitive’ tag associated with the district, which he believes has been created by a few individuals. Chowta emphasized that the people of the region are peace-loving and inclusive, and he plans to consult with stakeholders to develop a strategy for moving forward. He also outlined his priorities for the district, including promoting economic growth through infrastructure development, software industries, and cultural heritage preservation.
