Vitla-Uppinangady Block Congress President condemns the incident

It is not right to conduct an election campaign at any hospital, institute, or religious places. Doctors, who must treat everyone equally without seeing religion, caste and creed; are getting limited to some parties. It is not a good development.

 In the democracy, everyone has the right to choose a party or a person to vote. But, conducting an election campaign meeting at hospitals is condemnable, said Vitla-Uppinangady Block Congress president Muralidhar Rai Mathantbettu.
