Chikkamagaluru, Jun 20: Sri Ram Sene national president Pramod Muthalik charged the BJP with not doing anything for the cause of Hindutva other than reaping political benefit out of it.

Speaking to media persons, Muthalik said that he has decided not to have anything to do with politics. "I will never ever enter the election fray. I will stay away from all kinds of politics. None of the leaders of our organization will take part in elections. We will solely concentrate on strengthening our organization," he announced.

Muthalik said that false cases have been hoisted against the activists of Sri Ram Sene, as a result of which they are under compulsion to make frequent trips to courts. "Some of our trusted activists have been attending courts since the last many years. I had entered electoral politics after realizing that such people can be helped out if we have political power," he clarified.

He explained that it is very difficult to get properly settled down in politics. "One can get entrenched in politics only if he has money, caste and lobbying power. But I do not have any of these qualifications. Therefore, I could not win election. Even if I win as an independent candidate, I will not be able to be of help to anyone. Neither the BJP nor the Sangh Parivar extend support to sincere pro-Hindu activists," he observed.

Speaking further, he said that the Sangh Parivar is not in need of honest persons, accusing the outfit of driving out a veteran Hindutva exponent, Pravinbhai Togadia. "Sangh Parivar and the BJP are not doing anything to the cause of Hindutva. They are just reaping political benefit," he reiterated.
