Sirsi: The election of President and Vice President for the KDCC Bank of the district took place, which was won unopposed by district In-Charge Minister Shivaram Hebbar, and BJP leader Mohandas Naik respectively.

District In-Charge Minister Shivram Hebbar said in his victory that he had won the post in a non-political manner because former president of the bank and Congress leader SL Ghotnekar, former assembly member Mankal Vaidya, Krishna Desai and Sonda Hegde had been with him when he was submitting the nomination papers. "This shows that the bank will have the opportunity to work for the welfare of the people rather than the interests of political parties. This election also proves that politicians can take a non-political stance in the public interest if they want to", he added.
