While chatting with the media, Opposition chief and senior Congress legislator VD Satheesan mentioned that the Congress opposes each majority and minority communalism.
“We oppose majority and minority communalism. Support offered by SDPI to UDF is being viewed under these circumstances. Each individual can vote according to their wishes. We wish that everyone votes for the UDF but in the case of organisations, this is our stand,” Satheesan acknowledged, refuting to supply additional particulars.
The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), the political arm of the banned Popular Front of India, had introduced its help to the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on Monday.
