Form parties, but do not disrupt communal harmony
Mangaluru: Minister of food and civil supplies U T Khader stated that feared by the power of Congress in the coastal region, BJP National President Amit Shah has decided to camp in Karnataka.
Addressing a press conference in Mangaluru on Friday, Khader said, BJP's National President himself is coming here due to the failure of party's state team in recognizing the power of the Congress.
Amit Shah can do his party activities in the coastal region. Even Constitution allows it. But he should not try to play divisive politics by disrupting the unity of the district with communal remarks.
Amit Shah is scheduled to visit the coastal region on February 19.
