Khader mocks BJP for seeking votes in Modi's name
Ridiculing the BJP for seeking votes in the name of Prime Minister after failing to address people's issues in Dakshina Kannada constituency, state Housing and Urban Development Minister U T Khader Thursday said there would not be the name or picture of Narendra Modi in the voting machine.
Addressing reporters here, he said the people should cast their votes sensibly and send to New Delhi a person who was capable of taking up their issues in the Parliament.
The sitting BJP MP who is seeking re-election was a total failure during his last two terms, he alleged.
Disputing the claim of BJP that Modi had taken stringent action against terrorism, Khader said terrorist attacks had in fact increased since the NDA government came to power.
On the soft Hindutva line allegedly being followed by Congress candidate Mithun M Rai in his campaign, Khader said Congress always believed in true Hinduism propagated by social reformers like Swami Vivekananda and Sri Narayana Guru.
