The BJP’s inimical and nauseating ideology of religiously dividing the people for its political gains will never succeed in south India, Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has said.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he said the BJP, which was whipping religious sentiments of the people over the past few decades ahead of elections for fetching the votes and consequently coming to power, had started doing the dirty politics once again as the party had to face Assembly polls in five States. The BJP, in this line, had created unrest in Karnataka by creating the ‘hijab’ issue in schools and colleges again for political gains.
The fuel price hike, which was being done ritually at regular intervals even though the crude oil price in the international market had crashed to touch all-time low, had been put on hold, again considering the elections to be held in 5 States. The fuel price that had reached all-time high in the country, would go up further once the elections in these States were over, he predicted.

BJP State unit president B.Y. Vijayendra has wondered why the IAS Officers’ Association, which has now petitioned Chief Minister Siddaramaiah against BJP MLC N. Ravikumar for allegedly derogatory comments against the Chief Secretary, did not show similar interest when Chief Minister Siddaramaiah himself had insulted an IAS officer earlier.
