People voting on basis of caste can affect coalition: M Veerappa Moily


Daijiworld Media Network

Chikkaballapur, March 25: AICC leader and former union law minister M Veerappa Moily filed his nomination from Chikkaballapur Lok Sabha constituency as the Congress-JD(S) coalition candidate on Monday, March 25.

Before filing his nomination, he raised concerns on people voting on basis of caste, and said this could harm the coalition in the state.

“If one votes for BJP candidate B N Bache Gowda as he is from Vokkaliga community, then what will happen to the coalition government headed by HD Kumaraswamy who too is from the Vokkaliga community? It will affect the coalition government,” he said.

The JD(S) workers should think about H D Kumaraswamy and vote for the coalition candidate, he said.

When Bache Gowda was asked to react, he said no one votes by seeing caste or religion. “All of it is lies. All see the party, the nation and Modi to vote. While no one votes based on religion, no one also asks votes in name of religion,” he said.

“I don’t know about the different castes that exist. I am not asking votes on basis of caste. I am only asking people to vote for BJP,” he said.

“As it’s a coalition government, it’s normal for them to contest in a united manner. However, with this the competition has become direct. Earlier, the competition was triangular. It is easier to win in a direct competition and people too are of the opinion that BJP should win,” Bache Gowda said.

    Mr. Moily . No worries. You have to check with the president of your party Mr.RaGa on what religious attire to wear & in which place while campaigning. He will definitely advise you. Good luck.

    What Moily says is a fact. He has sensed it right. There is high chance of he loosing this time.

    Last time since HDK jumped into fray from JDS, he split vokkaliga votes and Bache Gowda of BJP lost with thin margin.

    This time Vokkaliga votes will mostly consolidate for Bache Gowda of BJP and Moily will only get pure congress votes and small share of JDS votes.

    Now almost all casting vote on the basis of religion only, now no one remember improvement of Mrs.Indira ghandi, congress leaders failed to keep that name n fame. Now congress dont have any big deals for demand votes, so all playing with religion cards.

    In 2014 Moily won by around 250 votes. He will not have any chance this year. He has hardly visited his constituency. May be his third visit to Chikaballapur since 2014.

    it seems "oily" moily is shaky and forewarning the coalition government. if congress looses many seats in the upcoming lokshaba election, then Siddharamaih will be back as CM and HDK to either support him or go to BJP for support. From Pan to fire will be the situation for HDK
