Mangalore, Mar 10, 2014 : District BJP President Pratap Simha Nayak has blamed the Congress for the recent Kalladka clashes.

Speaking to reporters at the party office on March 9, Sunday,  he also charged the Congress of violating the election code of conduct during its convention at Kalladka on March 8, Saturday during which clashes broke out between  Congress men and Sangh Parivar workers.

He also accused the Congress of disrupting peace by organising the convention and said the  speech of  Chandraprakash Shetty of the Congress at the convention had  led to the clashes.

He said  “trying to tarnish the image of anyone through  such comments is tantamount to violation of   model code of conduct.”

He also accused the police of failing to bring the situation under control on time  and charged the Congress of pursuing hate politics.  Nayak further said the BJP would soon approach the Election Commission with evidences to prove that code of conduct has been violated by the Congress.
