If BJP wins, this will be the last election, says Kanimozhi

“To ensure proper functioning of the democracy and to retain voting system to elect leaders, BJP should not continue further,” said DMK deputy general secretary Kanimozhi.

Canvassing for Kanniyakumari Lok Sabha constituency Congress candidate Vijay Vasanth at Kuzhithurai area in the district on Monday, she said, “If BJP is elected back to power, this will be the last election we will vote to elect our leaders. After this, it will be one leader, one party and one election.” It was the election that would determine the survival of social justice in the country. “They act like they are saviours of people of the Hindu community, but what about the lakhs of Hindu students who have not received their scholarships for years together,” she added.

Above all, 44 MPs who were accused of offences against women, contested from the BJP ticket and were elected to Parliament, she said. “Can anyone say that there were no Hindus in the lot of affected women,” she asked.

She further questioned that if BJP cared for Hindus, then why were the 44 MPs not punished or thrown out of the party.

“Reservation is a system which benefits all underprivileged people from the Hindu community, but BJP that proclaims that the party is for Hindus, is against the system,” Ms. Kanimozhi said.

“Mr. Modi, who travels to Tamil Nadu frequently, has not visited the people of Manipur even once. Still, thousands of people are in camps unable to get food and water, but he has not cared to visit them even once and this proves his visits were all for votes and to woo the Tamil people,” she contended.

While this is the condition in the country, INDIA alliance parties had assured that there would be caste census in the State to ensure equal rights to the people. “This is the real step which empowers the people of the Hindu community, not the fake promises being given by BJP,” she added. Introducing Mr. Vasanth, she appealed to the people to vote for the Congress candidate to witness development.
