Mangaluru’s leading architect Dharmaraj, who recently came out in the open about his close association with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its political arm – the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in a candid chat with coastaldigest.com, says that he involved himself to in a campaign to create awareness and unity among people and defeat the “divisive politics” of the Congress.
CD: You have openly admitted that you have been a part of ‘Support Modi’ silent campaign. Could you elaborate on this?
Dharmaraj: It simply means that we are not openly campaigning or going door-to-door, but simply going to create awareness in the form of silent campaign. We are all apolitical group about 300 in number. Soon we will reach about 10,000 in strength and it will consist of people from every community, background whoever is interested to develop the country.
CD: Do you officially identify yourself as a BJP worker?
Dharmaraj: I have been sympathizer of BJP because it works for the development (of the country). I tell everyone not to vote looking at the local candidate, instead look at who is leading the nation and vote for the party of PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.
CD: Being a professional, you were politically silent all the while. Don’t you think your political rhetoric would harm your business?
Dharmaraj: I am still the CEO of Motisham group, one of the pioneers in real-estate in Mangaluru. They are apolitical and have no issues with my views. My profession and my views are poles apart. They don't have any connection. I believe it won’t it effect my business. People know me for the quality of work I deliver and the two cannot be intermixed.
CD: General elections are fast approaching. Are you ready for a political debut?
Dharmaraj: No. I am not a political aspirant. I don’t have even 0.1 percent interest in getting into politics. But as a collective group we will support the party which first gives priority to the Mangaluru city, then to the state and then to the nation.
CD: But, Prime Minister Narendera Modi is known for unfulfilled promises and U-turns!
Dharmaraj: Modiji has fulfilled all promises. The Opposition is only ranting that he has not deposited Rs 15 lakh in everyone’s account. Through measures like demonetization or closing shell companies, he has brought Rs 14 lakh crore back to the country. Give him time… We are confident that given another term in 2019, he will once again work in the best interest of the country. He is a PM with vision and we trust him.
CD: What are your reservations about the Congress party?
Dharmaraj: I have many friends in Congress party. I closely work with (the Congress-ruled) Mangaluru City Corporation. Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister B Ramanath Rai is my friend… But it’s also a fact that despite having excellent IAS officer like Anjum Parvez, V Ponnuraj and Senthil Kumar their talents have been wasted. There has been no development in the city for the last five years. Instead, the party has been looting the state. During the elections, they say things like Muslims, Dalits, Christian and so on. Why are you playing minority-majority politics? Please talk about development. Ahead of polls Congress issues government order to withdraw cases against Muslims. They withdraw free meal facility from poor schools. It’s not the correct use of authority. I am against this. Besides, they have put a 'Pappu' for the president of the party… I don't mind being quoted on this.
CD: Are you against the reservation for Dalits and backward classes in India?
Dharmaraj: I am not against the reservation policy, as misquoted by some media. But it’s a fact that Congress has been playing vote bank politics by separating Dalits from the Hindus. Once separated, Congress will consolidate Muslim and Christian votes and walk to victory. Despite so much allocation of funds for the scheduled castes and tribes, they have barely received any fair share. The money is being looted by the Congress party. Otherwise even after over 71 years of independence why does their condition remain the same? Only few selective people who are already in the creamy layer of the society, continue to derive benefits, whereas scores of people from SC/ST communities continue to be marginalized. Why aren’t they being enshrined the benefits which is their constitutional right? Any party must indulge in inclusive politics instead of creating social divide. They use people like Jignesh Mevani against Hindus. That’s not right.
Apr 23: An FIR has been registered in Nagpur against Republic TV channel's editor Arnab Goswami for promoting social disharmony and accusing Congress President Sonia Gandhi of orchestrating the Palghar lynching.

tiz guy belongs to MODI group indirect he support for sangi to create communal riots , becoz of that he appointed only BAJI and sangi in his business concers , please do not book any flat belongs to this guy .. this guy giviing funds to SANGI AND BAJJI
This man is a blind supporter of BJP sake of some personal / business agenda. I want to tell you Mr dharmaraj that the reserve bank had already stated the 99% of the money had been return after the demonetization of 500 & 100 notes. During the election camping of Mr Modi to Karnataka, he has used maximum of his speech to personal allegations to congress leaders rather than highlighting his govt's development track records. As far as you are having a business and personal ally with minorities from M'lore, I would like to ask you a very simple question that "how do you support Modi as he had a clear involvement into 2002 Gujrat riot which killed 3000 Muslims and tortured a thousands of women?"
Barking dog. This dog is not from mangalore street.
Wise action is to beat the SNAKE until koma to save the visitors/ Guests of beautiful building.
Wonderfull Press report now the real bull of the gate came out, so far you Jewels hidden agenda came out bap ray bap master looted said "uncultured muzzi"s but I says "Gangasara crimanal looters" but hidden cheaters one or other day come out no worries always most and most welcome !!! Every dogs has its own day"

Jai hoo Hindustan.
Jai hoo Siddanna
Haudenappa abdullah? innenadru unta helakke?.. Whatever Ponnjuran and Dharmaraj did were for the best of mangalore. they are not antinationals. Plz stop commenting on city roads sitting in bunder. you dont have basic knowlege.
Nice interview given by the jewel of Mangalore despite frustrated attempts by the interviewer to create controversy. Selfless nationalists like Dharmaraj, who always think about nation first, don’t care uncultured muzzis. We are with you sir. You carry out ur noble work. Not 10k. Soon our strength should be 10 crore. All govt officers, professionals and police officers in India should soon be campaigners for the nationalist party. Govt should make chanting bharat Maataki Jai and singing Vande Maataram mandatory to get any jobs. Soon we will see Rama Rajaya. Yes Achche din are not far away. Let the anti-nationals (i need not to mention their religion) burn their bums after reading my comment.
Business not going to affect.....? Public will boycott you my friend...
You are supporting a Fascist Party...Shame on you...
Dear Jignesh Mevani, please reply to this fellow. He is taking your name and accusing Congress of using you against Hindus. You are the suitable person to respond to people like this.
I think if SDPI comes to power at the Centre or state such people will be silent campaigners for SDPI and start claiming that India should be the global superpower once again just like it was during the period of Aurngzeb.
Dharmaraj is my old boss. That time he was a silent campaigner for Congress.
When Ponnuraj was DC of dakshina Kannada, This fellow using to brain wash him daily and they together changed the old decided plan of bus root (for widening the road) from ganapathischool road to ladygoshen hospital road(market road). And he also got the Road widening contract on that time. Because existing ganapathi School Bus root contains too many Temples and RSS workers shops and Houses. Lady Goshen road have muslims Shops. But because of resistance from all shop keepers, he failed in that plan.
Mothisham was picked business with more minoritys funds like sold flats for Muslim / Christian cummunity .
now we are realize your Bhakth agenda,any example of modi /Sha feed for hunger..
their back round came from jail / hinduthwa agenda and mafiya .. ghati amesha ghati hey..
"snake found inside a beautiful building"
Ponnuraj was DC of dakshina kannada when Krishna J Palemar was district in charge minister. this fellow now blaming congress for not utilising his talent. What bhatks think? All are fools like them? There should be some limits to tell lies.
Dharmaraj in motisham...i will cancle my flat booking...i dont want to give business to anti nationalist....
Bhootada baayalli Modi geethe. (I don’t commit blasphemy by calling this bullshit as Bhagavadgitha)
Ok Dharmaraj sir, we will agree your bullshit claim that Modi brought back 14 lakh crore black money to the country. But after bringing back that much money why did the country’s economy collapsed ? Why the prices of essential commodities raised 300%? Why poverty increased in the country? All money went into the pockets of business magnets like Ambanis and Adanis and leaders and activists of BJP and RSS? And then you are saying Congress looted the country.
Can you please list out the promises fulfilled by Modi?
My first question is DALITS are not Hinuds??
What do you mean by Dalits against Hindus?
Mrs. Prathiba, go and sit beside him then you will come to know how much good he is...
Stupid Bhakt please let us know what's the promises fullfilled by your criminal Modi and Shah. They just cheated the nation along with 31% who voted them. if you are interested in RSS phylosophy follow them but don't give free lectures. Everyone knows RSS will distroy the country.
Well said bhatkta mahashaya. PM Modi has fulfilled all the promises he had made to Ambanis, Adanis, Mallya, Nirav Modi etc..
Well, the silent killers group strength will soon touch 10K. By the way is he doing all these work sitting in Mohtisham’s premises? Arshad bhai wake up.
CEO of Mohtisham group??????? Thank you so much team coastaldigest.com for exposing the leading builders of Mangalore. I was thinking they only hire Bajrangis in their malls to carry out immoral policing. But now I realized they have handed over their entire firm to these people.
Local version of ''The Lie Lama''
Dont lose your cool. you should learn to enjoy such cute and sexy lies.
Those who destroyed Mangalore are talking of development of Mangalore and asking innocent people to vote for those who destroyed India. When the hell you people stop telling lies? Don’t u feel shame?
CD team has no other work? Instead of wasting time in such rubbish things interview the jobless youth or the street vendors of Mangalore. Let us know their pains.
Mangaloreans are extremely fortunate people to have selfless personalities like Dharmaraj sir among them. He played a great role in the city’s growth and infrastructure development. His thoughts and views are on part with great saints and nationalist leaders. Keep doing good work sir. We are always with you. Ignore the jobless critics.
Instead of calling it ‘creating awareness and uniting people’ you better term it “spreading cancer and training people to hate each other”.
What a splendid jumla-baazi! Whether Amit Shah trained Dharmaraj or Dharmaraj trained Amit Shah? Am fully confused.
