Speaking at a press meet on Thursday Koliwad said no matter who said what, the diamond jubilee is a grand success and fortunately  he got the opportunity to conduct it and he is very proud of it.  He brushed off all comments as ‘natural’ and quoted Dr Rajkumar’s song ‘Yaare Koogadali..’  

He said he has swallowed many a criticism. He has left all comments against him to the almighty. There were 19 Speakers before him and none got an opportunity like this and he was thankful for it. When questioned about the expenses he said there are officers to give details of expenses, auditors to account and everything was done as per regulations.
