Arun stated that Dharmasthala Dharmadhikaris are ready for any kind of investigation. The institution has done significant work for women’s empowerment and taken initiatives to eradicate bad habits from society. According to him, the recent incidents around Dharmasthala involve a person from the Bhim community who has converted, and funds are being used to spread this propaganda. He stressed that the accused in the Soujanya case must be punished.
Political Journey & Inspiration:
Coming from an RSS family deeply involved in politics, Arun’s father, Shankaramurthy, contested elections six times but never won, even before Arun was born.

When he sought an MLA ticket, he was told to first serve the organization. He later contested local body elections and won. Arun says he entered politics to fight injustice and ensure society values service over self-interest.
Role of the Opposition:
Arun emphasized that legislators must be allowed to express their views in law-making. Leaders like R. Ashoka, B.Y. Vijayendra, and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, he said, can put enough pressure to make the ruling party even resign if needed.Sudeep Stands Up for Street Dogs... Kichcha Appeals Through Tweet!
Local Elections Issue:
Arun pointed out that district panchayat elections haven’t been held for five years due to reservation issues. Without local governments, central grants are lost. He urged all parties, including Congress, to hold elections and face court challenges together.
Malnad Region Issues:
For decades, people displaced by the Sharavathi backwaters have awaited justice due to poor inter-departmental coordination. Heavy rains make connectivity a challenge, and small bridges could greatly help schoolchildren.
Having himself risen from the gram panchayat level, Arun advocates for increased honorarium for panchayat members and better housing allocations.Six Arrested in Ramya Case: Are Celebrities Abandoning Instagram?

While PM Modi was expected to inaugurate it, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari opened it to the public sooner for the people’s benefit. He credited MP B.Y. Raghavendra for the project’s completion and condemned leaders who tried to politicize it.
