Mysuru, KARNATAKA :

Says drinking water tops the list

Mysuru :

“I will take all steps to ensure proper supply of drinking water, availability of good roads and Under Ground Drainage (UGD) facilities at all the places in the district,” declared newly-elected President of Mysuru Zilla Panchayat Nayeema Sultana here yesterday.

Addressing media persons after her election as ZP President at the ZP auditorium in city, an elated Nayeema, representing Annuru Constituency in H.D. Kote taluk, who created history by becoming the first woman from the Muslim community to become the Mysuru ZP President, thanked party bigwigs for choosing her as the party candidate for the post.

Declaring that she would take all members of the ZP into confidence while discharging her duties, Nayeema denied having any links with the Congress nor had she met any leader from the Congress to get the coveted post.

Meanwhile, Kayyamballi Nataraj, who was elected as Vice-President, said that tackling drought, successful implementation of NREGA and improving rural infrastructure will get top priority.

As per the compromise deal clinched between Nayeema and Parimala, Nayeema will be the President of the ZP for the first 20 months after which Parimala will take over as the ZP Chief for the remaining 40 months, it is learnt.

It may be noted that President of a ZP in Karnataka will enjoy all the benefits given to a Minister of State.

Earlier, JD(S) members, who were camping at a resort near Kushalnagar arrived in city on a bus along with MLAs G.T. Devegowda and S.R. Mahesh, while the BJP members were led by MP Pratap Simha, MLC G. Madhusudan and District President Hemanthkumar Gowda.
