SDPI ZINDABAD............ YES LET CONGRESS SUPPORT SDPI IF THEY R REALLY A SECULAR PARTY........
SDPI is political arm of PFI, which allegedly has links with several terror outfits. All those who vote for this fellow are terrorists.
Let Congress – if it is really a secular party – decide not to field candidate from Dakshina Kannada and officially support SDPI as the latter had done in many seats in last Assembly polls. All the shortlisted Cong ticket aspirants are useless, shameless and corrupt people. Let all the peace lovers back SDPI this time.
