He further said since the BJP government took over in the state, no communal violence was reported in the district.The violence over the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was contained within no time, he said.
Kateel said the BJP government has succeeded in preventing crimes and is striving hard to check the drug menace.Attempts are also being made to free the district of plastic, he said.
MLAs Vedavyas Kamath, Bharath Y Shetty and city Mayor Diwakar were among those present.
