In an interview with Insight Rush Media, N.S. Hegde shared insights on his political career, vision, and goals as the newly appointed district president.

Hegde has extensive political experience at the grassroots level. He joined the BJP as a party worker in 1996, and has served in various key organizational roles since then. When Anant Kumar Hegde was elected MP for the first time, Hegde worked as Booth Committee Secretary in Karki village, Honnavar Taluk. He later served as BJP Secretary in Kumta for three years from 2008, and as Uttara Kannada District General Secretary for nine consecutive years. He also worked for two years in Shivamogga.

Recognizing his dedicated service, B.Y. Vijayendra entrusted him with the role of district president in 2024. Hegde also actively contributed to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, especially in ensuring the victory of Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri, which added to his credibility and trust within the party.

In February 2025, in acknowledgment of his leadership at the grassroots, Hegde was formally appointed as the President of the BJP Uttara Kannada District Unit.

Next Goal: In the upcoming Assembly elections, N.S. Hegde aims to lead Uttara Kannada district on the path of development by securing a majority for the BJP in all six constituencies of the district.

Speaking about the central government, Hegde expressed pride in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, stating that the BJP-led government at the Centre has been delivering people-centric governance for the past 11 years. He mentioned that schemes like Vayovandana Yojana are being actively taken to rural areas and implemented across 1,435 booths in the district through party workers.

“There’s nothing worth mentioning about the Congress government. No good work is being done — it’s just one scam after another. Guarantee after guarantee… and corruption everywhere. The Moodebidri-Valmiki reservation scandal and the targeting of Hindu activists with false cases are just a few examples of how the Congress is disturbing peace in the state.”

He referred to Congress MLA B.R. Patil’s recent statement, noting:

“Even MLAs within Congress are not united. Ministers and MLAs operate in silos. Without coordination, how can development take place? What Patil said is absolutely true.”

He further added that on June 25, to mark 50 years since the imposition of the Emergency by Indira Gandhi, the BJP will hold public awareness programs under the theme “The Dark Days of Emergency” to expose the misgovernance and authoritarian history of the Congress.
