Mr Anam Malay sir your current kabi is Tamil Nadu but your earlier kabi in your avataras IPS was Bangalore South you DCP Bangalore South what is the message that you're carrying sir for the people of Bangalore South today sir we have a role model politician if you look at the Last 5 Years any Benchmark you see our uh MP from Bangalore South V Sury G is a performing MP he reflects the aspirations of New India he raises issues brings pertinent topics to the public forum extremely well performing MP that is why last time Bangalore South rewarded him with 62% votes in Indian democracy in Karnataka getting 62% votes on a DE just imagine the kind of Faith people had on them now 5 years later Bangalore South is going to reward the same BJP MP with a much larger mandate because last time the trust was faced This Time Performance is being guaranteed and not only that a young MP has to reflect how India should be in the next 25 years and here we have an MP who's going to reflect how India is going to be in the next 25 years we extremely delighted and happy the kind of response the MP is able to get in Bangalore South the kind of love see a is sitting next to me a age is 70 if I say old a is getting angry 70 year old to a first time first timer there 18 19 years first time voting and everybody is very fond of this MP that that makes our job very special because we are here to add little whatever we could do and he's a role model politician he'll continue to be a role model politician we are delighted and Bangalore South also happens to be a former place where I served as a public servant here in a PO Ro so doubly delighted yeah I mean he's just finished a high intensity campaign in Tamil Nadu fought a spirited uh election in katur probably creating history we'll get to know that on June 4th how important is uh campaigns like this connecting with people you're meeting also Street vendors who who are beneficiaries of the SW scheme well uh for a political kakara in the BJP the kind of work EIC that uh Anam Mala is uh you know depicting personalizing is inspirational for almost the last one year he has been on the streets in the you know the punishing hot sun in Tamil Nadu 10 months continuously on the end man inm yatra went straight into his campaign in a very challenging seat in katur was campaigning the last 1 month non-stop tirelessly all across Tamil Nadu for other camp candidates as well he concludes his campaigning the very next day he's in Kerala then he is here today in Bengaluru to campaign for us and just look at the kind of craze that uh you know uh the name anamalai today is attracting here in Bengaluru and it is also because you know like he said he had worked here as DCP of bangaluru South so Bengaluru has a very special love and affection towards him you're seeing you know uh young old everybody you're seeing a large number of Tamil speakers in Bengaluru have come here to welcome him so this is truly amazing so his uh support in the campaign is is is uh big boost in the arm for me so I'm really grateful that he came and through the day we are going to uh areas where we have large Tamil speaking people where uh you know we have large anamalai fans there there are anamalai fan clubs that are getting started in these Tamil areas in Bengaluru so uh follow us through the trail you will see the kind of craze he has in Bangalore I mean I won't be surprised if a film producer offers him a role anyway he has a title of single you wait and watch our entry song for him when we go to the uh uh you know the campaign next time the next area now okay now since since you've been campaigned actively in Tamil Nadu U and the issues that have cropped up in Karnataka in the runup to the election they are very similar to what we have SE seen traditionally in Tamil Nadu we have a Bangalore rural MP saying if this Injustice continues of devolution of tax then South might seek a different country itself we have seen controversy or tax Devolution now again the state is saying that we've got nothing from the center it's all chambu empty promises how do you see this we'll just can through Karnataka after Congress government has come to power sir the agriculture budget they've taken it down by 32% the irrigation budget they've taken it down by 17% the the support that is given to all our youth taken down by 12% in education you're looking at 32% 17% 12% reduction after Congress government has taken over so which mean they have given chimu jumu to all the different groups not only that sir 24 rupees out of 100 when BJP was there the last budget was going for capital expenditure it has come down to 15 rupees now what is the net effect a city like Bangalore is reing in Water Crisis there's no water even for basic necessity just a just a few days just a few weeks back now the same trend is continuing very hot summer it might it might aerate more the point I'm trying to make is Sir this government under any yard stick is a nonperforming government any yard stick be it the money that is given for development be it the money that is given for Bangalore people's need or karnataka's need now this is the nature of Congress you don't have anything to prove and then you start blaming the center now any yard stick center has done so much for Karnataka and Center will keep doing so much for Karnataka and that is why the people of Kara a two times not only in 2019 even in 2014 they reposed their complete faith in mod this time it's going to be a clean sweep 28 seats you wait and see sir it is going to be a clean sweep when a senior leader like uh dag gaji a former prime minister of the country who understands politics very well when he says Modi G has given AKA Patra to Karnataka not chumu and immediately siday wants to lash out at De gaji also this is their arrogant attitude and people of Karnataka will teach them A fitting lesson at the same time you have seen the remarks made by Mr rant R how do you view it sir I mean DMK is also part of the India Alliance sir now after the phase one got over the India Alliance engine has failed to take off that is why you see the fights that is happening among them if you go to Kerala last two days I was in Kerala if you you see the political narration there ragul Gandhi g is asking people why VJ and G is not arrested when other CMS are arrested vijan G is asking why Rahul Gandhi g is not arrested in national case now ra redig garu wants to arrest UD Stalin now DMK is attacking Congress what is this sir one phase only got over all leaders are fighting I'm sure only till April 26 the India Alliance will be in some form and shape after April 26 you might not even see India in the current format yeah now coming back to Bangalore South the one controversy that the Congress has been constantly referring to is the gurur rindra banks Camp they are saying that uh people haven't got Justice the MP is being doing flip-flop over the number of people who benefited from the changes in the insurance tool there do you want to set the record straight on where things stand today sir this Guru ragavendra Bank scam is a 2,000 CR rupees scam and the RBI imposed moratorium in 2019 and a certain section of people who had benefited from these uh you know vested interest loans were against the appointment of an administrator for the bank they wanted the uh investigation to get muddled and they wanted to uh you know protect their interests who went to the court on behalf of the depositors in my black robes and fought for the depositors and appoint got appointed an administrator it was me I went to high court we filed a petition in the Supreme Court on four occasions I went and argued the case myself and the attempt that was made to thwart the appointment of an administrator I set it right and got an administrator appointed I went to court again and asked the court to direct RBI to give 1 lakh rupes to 2 lakh rupees emergency cases for medical people who are old and RBI was directed by the court then I went to nirmala sitaraman G I went to Amit Shah multiple times there are at least 100 meetings that I have done so much so that on one occasion when Nala sitaraman had come here to Bengaluru at her house in jainagar and I had taken a depositors group she said whenever I see Tas in Delhi I fold my hands and I say Guru ragavendra because that's the kind of you know followup he has done now we brought two big changes for the first time we got all Cooperative banks in the country under the RBI supervision by amending 35a of the banking regulation act now the question that I must just ask the Congress is for 65 years the congress party ruled the country crores of people middle class people lower middle class people aged people are investors in Cooperative Banks why is it that the congress party did not think of bringing the Cooperative Banks under the RBI supervision and preventing a fraud of this kind to happen over the last 65 years why did they not show political will why did it take a Narendra Modi to come second we increased the dicgc insurance the insurance Deposit Insurance which was ,000 Rupees to 5 lakh rupees and earlier the law said that the amount should be dispersed after the liquidation of the bank which would take about 10 years in some instances we brought it to 90 days from the date of moratorium so close to 80% of the depositors of this bank got all their monies back now as a senior journalist who has followed Karnataka so closely I want to ask you a question tell me one Bank brother forget a second Bank Tell Me One Bank in karnataka's history which has you know gone bankrupt and where 80% of the depositors have got their monies back tell me I mean we've seen other Cooperative banks that have gone on for years no give me one instance where 80% of the depositors have got their monies back yeah no you will not find a single instance so we have made this effort I got 7850 7 783 CR Rupees to our uh depositors now around 8,000 depositors uh uh you know are still struggling they also know that if today the bank has to be revived Narendra Modi government which created first time a Ministry for cooperation under Amit Shah's leadership the government has to come to power again and tasv suya who is championed the cause must become an MP again and they know and have full faith that if there is a solution for this it is through me okay before uh there's a mad crowd for selfies here anal my final question to you you finished campaigning in katur the election has got over how do you see what happened on election day sir the DMK is a Hydra headed monster that easily you can't touch them they will do every tricks in the book but this time they have tried every tricks in the book because that is their last desperate option but you will see on June 4th the people will stand with us and BJP across Tamil NAD NDA will get a resounding Victory including my final question we are in a darini you served in coastal Karnataka as well which sambar do you prefer Chennai or Karnataka sir I always believe every state has got a unique culture unique Cuisine that is a beauty of India all of us have got used to a particular cine so today I've come to Bangalore I will enjoy this sambar tomorrow moment I in my homeland Tamil NAD I'll enjoy that s okay T which SAR do you prefer the well he's given a very politically correct answer so if I say anything else it'll be controversial
