00:00In 2014, there was a promise given for the research centre at Tirthalli, which was not.
00:07I will not go in for politicising the situation at all.
00:10I think since arachnid growers are very large in number in our state and especially in Shimoga,
00:16I think we stand in the whole country in the first place.
00:19In the whole country, Shimoga district is number one in Adikey Bellagar.
00:25A lot of people are converting from growing paddy to even betel nut also.
00:32So it is increasing day by day.
00:34We need a research centre because all the diseases what are there, he has already explained.
00:39So I am not going for more details.
00:41What was promised, if that was done, I think it will be a great help, sir.
00:45And that has to be done at the earliest from on behalf of state government.
00:53Sir, on behalf of state government, anything we have to do on behalf of that,
00:57we are always there with the central government and we will do the best for the people what they have done.
01:02What I am saying is, in 2014, they made a promise.
01:06I am not going to do more politics.
01:09It is not for that.
01:10Because you have done it with a lot of love and faith.
01:13In 2014, what did you promise to do for the research centre?
01:18Please do it.
01:19Because in this country, where are the highest growers?
01:22Where are they growing paddy?
01:24It is in Sumagga district.
01:26So we have to do the work of keeping that promise.
01:29So what should happen from the state government?
01:32I was in the forefront of that.
01:34I will do that.
01:35I and Gopalakrishnan and all of us will do that.
01:39I would like to say that.
01:42I am not going to talk more.
01:44Because I have done a lot of research.
01:47Even in the morning, all the ministers, all the experts have said that we have talked.
01:53So I am not going to do the same research again.
01:56You have come.
01:57Then what did you do to harm this?
02:00In 2002, if I am right, sir, in Mysore there is a CFTRI.
02:04Honourable, our leader, Kagadu Thimmapaji, when he was health minister,
02:10there was a certificate which was done.
02:12We will try to provide it, sir, or you can ask your officers to get it also.
02:15CFTRI had given a clear, this thing, saying that betel nut, arachnut is not injurious to health.
02:23When it is mixed with other things which are very dangerous, that has to be taken care.
02:29In 2002, Kagadu Thimmapaji, when he was health minister,
02:33SM Krishnan was there, CFTRI was there in Mysore.
02:37From that CFTRI, they showed the certificate.
02:40They showed it again, showed it again, and again tested it.
02:44Our farmers are saying that betel nut is harmful to health.
02:49Hereafter, the union government should announce that betel nut is not harmful to health.
02:53I have done my duty as a wife to them, sir.
03:23Thank you, sir.
