Past BMP polls were more violent: CM

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, NOV. 13. The Chief Minsiter, Mr. S.M.Krishna, has questioned the claims of the BJP and other Opposition parties that the disturbances witnessed during Sunday's Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BMP) polls were unprecedented.

Addressing the newly-elected corporators here on Tuesday, he said the past elections were more violent.

``The public has given a fitting reply to those who were talking about the misgovernance of our Government,'' he said.

The public support for people-friendly development projects in the past two years has helped the Congress live up to its expectations in the BMP polls, he said.

He was confident that the Congress would fare equally well in the Mangalore City Corporation polls scheduled for February.

Mr. Krishna announced that the works to improve the roads and desilt stormwater drains in the City would be intensified.
