BJP’s divisive politics won’t work in Kerala: Congress
Thiruvananthapuram: The Congress on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah of pursuing divisive politics but said this won’t click in Kerala.
“They did this in other parts of the country where they divided people on communal lines. They are trying a similar strategy here but that’s not going to work,” Congress leader and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala said.
Chennithala was speaking to reporters here ahead of the local body elections of November 2 and 5.
“The BJP is trying to replicate their success in other states, where they turned one against the other by playing communal and caste cards,” he said.
In Kerala, V. Natesan, general secretary of the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Sangom and an influential Hindu Ezahva leader, has been moving closer to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“Anyone is free to form a political party and nothing prevents Natesan from forming one. If they (BJP and Natesan) join forces, they will both end on the losing side as the people of Kerala do not think on communal and caste lines,” said Chennithala.
“The Congress-led UDF will … never play the politics of hatred,” he said.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
