Expressing his dismay and  dissatisfaction at Praja’s ratings Shetty said “inspite of the fact that I am available to public 365 days a year they  have rated me low in  accessibility parameter, for fighting public causes five cases are  slapped against me.” Shetty  further asked, “In assembly we ask many questions  but the quality and no. of questions are chosen at discretion of Government. Can you blame the MLA if questions put by him or her are not answered?"
