Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar Announces Parashurama Statue Installation in Bailoor
District Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar made a significant announcement on Sunday, assuring that a statue of Lord Parashurama will be installed at Bailoor in the coming days. This declaration came during her inauguration of the floodlit Congress sports meet, which was organized by the Karkala and Hebri Block Congress committees for the Karkala assembly constituency at Swaraj Maidan.
Addressing Recent Controversies in Karkala
In her speech, Minister Hebbalkar highlighted that Karkala, widely regarded as the sacred land of Parashurama, has recently been marred by an unfortunate controversy that tarnished its image. She emphasized the government's commitment to resolving this issue by proceeding with the statue installation at the same site in Bailoor. The minister stated, "The government will install the Parashurama statue at the same site in the days ahead," reinforcing her assurance to the public.
Praise for Congress Leader Uday Shetty Muniyalu
During the event, Minister Hebbalkar also referred to Congress leader Uday Shetty Muniyalu, acknowledging his dedication despite losing the previous election. She noted that he has remained in constant touch with the people of the constituency, demonstrating resilience and commitment to public service.
Drawing from Personal Political Journey
Reflecting on her own political experiences, Minister Hebbalkar shared that she too faced defeat twice in her career. However, she emphasized that she never distanced herself from the people, which ultimately contributed to her winning with a massive majority in both the 2018 and 2023 assembly elections. This personal anecdote served to inspire attendees and underscore the importance of staying connected with constituents.
The announcement and subsequent discussions at the sports meet have sparked renewed interest in the cultural and political landscape of the region, with many anticipating the positive impact of the statue installation on Karkala's image and community spirit.
