Tears of Satyajit Surathkal should be a lesson for OBC youth in BJP: Muneer Katipalla
Mangaluru, May 10: When the question of giving political representation araises, the BJP would keep youth of backward classes who were being used for party’s religious politics and BJP senior leader Satyajit Surathkal is an example for this, said Mangaluru North Constituency CPM candidate Muneer Katipalla.
Addressing an election campaign at Kodikal here on Wednesday evening, he said that the BJP would provoke backward classes youths to indulge in violence or religious politics. In the name of religion, they would either being jailed for their involvement in criminal activities or being killed. Satyajit’s example should be a lesson for the youth of backward classes who believe BJP blindly, he said.
The purpose of builders and businessmen who contest the election is not improving the condition of the people. Instead, they would worry about their interest, he said appealing the voters not to vote seeing the candidates’ personal rapport, community or money power. The people should analyse the contribution of the party, policies and eligibility of the candidate and vote, he said.
