This is definitely the work of a fanatic group in the shady name of the so called NGO -Nagarika Hitharakshna Vedike leader Hanumantha Kamath. From this you know how BJP and Sangha Parivar operates. How this fanatic group with support of BJP and other terror groups operates.

They want their goons to raid pubs, clubs, schools, colleges and molest young girls. They want attack more churches and mosques and terrorise other community. They want to continued to loot the state and people. They don’t want peace and harmony to prevail.

Fanatism can come any way. It has come in the form of leaflets. I was told that the BJP workers have gone house to house spitting venom against minority community in Mangalore and around. They have distributed leaflets and story books against Christians, Muslims and backward class communities. They want only the Brahmins to rule the state and country. They are too good in brainwashing and creating hatred among communities. May God Bless Our Great Nation

Why to worry when the people knows who is good and who is right for Mangalore. You can’t fool all the people all the time. Let the dogs bark. At least they have been barking and biting for long. They have ruined Mangalore. Now, leave it to the voters.

Wah! At last something has happened. I don’t see anything new. This is how every political party fool the public. If the trend is in favour of one party, the other will do all dirty tricks to tarnish the winning candidate’s image. Indeed, BJP is desperate this time. Bad luck.. BJP

BJP and Sangh Parivar are known for these kind malpractices in the past. They will go to any extend to disgrace the society and their opponents. Sangh Parivar cadres and fanatics were working underground day and night to defeat Congress candidates. This is just another trick and caught red hand. These were the same people behind all communal riots in Mangalore. They had been protected nurtured by BJP for five long years
