Bengaluru: Noted freedom fighter and social activist H S Doreswamy on Thursday added that the Narendra Modi led central government was anti-Vokkaliga community. He further added that the Modi government was strategically splitting the Vokkaliga community to conquer the state.

Speaking to reporters in the city on Thursday, Doreswamy called on all the communities to unite against the agenda of Modi government.

He further added that the community should not protest or fight the government in the name of DK Shivakumar as the former minister has several allegations of corruption against his name.

“I and S. R. Hiremath have ourselves made so many allegations against him. So fighting and struggling for him will not be of any use” he added.
