I am confident as I have a great connect with masses: M Krishnappa

What have been your achievements in the last five years?
In the last five years, we have done outstanding work in sanitation and bringing Cauvery water to the area. Moreover, development of lakes, road widening and asphalting are some of other areas where we have succeeded. The footpaths in the some of the wards were in shambles when I took over, but today a great amount of stress has also been given to developing it. Despite the financial issues, we have spent more than Rs 40 crore in the developmental work of my constituency.

At Konanakunte cross, the piles of garbage are left unattended. Why?
That is the only spot in our area that has garbage because of the vendors. We are addressing this issue. One can see the amount of the work we have done towards maintaining cleanliness by visiting the wards. There is hardly any presence of garbage in my constituency. Segregation at source is effective and wherever, there is loophole we address it.

Congress is the only major party contesting against you. Will development be the only issue this election?
This is one of the major issues we are rising on. I am confident of coming to power since the amount of work we have done is in public domain. Development and simplicity before the public is out motto to which we will stick. I have a great connect with the masses. They know me and the way I work. How can I not be confident to coming back to power.
