"The Winter session will be held in Belgaum's newly constructed Suvarna Soudha either in November or December," he said at a rally after inaugurating an irrigation project at Katageri village.

The holding of session at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha will be a step forward for removing regional imbalance in North Karnataka, he said.

Shettar said an agriculture college will soon be set up at Athani.

Former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, who accompanied Shettar to the event, said he had achieved much during his tenure by taking up development works at a faster pace. "I achieved things which Gujarat government achieved in three terms," he said.

Yeddyurappa said he would have brought Karnataka on top in development had he not been removed from Chief Minister's post for no fault of his.

Water Resources Minister Basvaraj Bommai said the irrigation project will benefit people living in Athani and Jamkhandi areas.

The third phase of Upper Krishna River Scheme will commence soon, Bommai said.
