As part of it, the district committee of Dakshin Kannada has decided to hold the People's Political Conference on March 2, at Nehru Maidan, in the city”, he said.

Abdul Jalil K, SDPI DK district president said that the Party's national president E Abubakkar, General Secretary Hafiz Mansur Ali Rajasthan, Tamilnadu M.P Thol Thirumavalam, SDPI Karnataka state president Abdul Majeed Kodlipete, president of Farmer Union Kodihalli Chandrashekhar, SDPI Karnataka state secretary Hemalatha and other national and state leaders of the party are expected take part in the programme.

Dedicated cadres of SDPI across the state have been equipped with the essentials required to give the People's Political Conference a lasting impression and making it a great success. Caravans, corner meetings, get-togethers, seminars, rallies, street plays, and public meetings are the tools that are being utilized by the well-trained teams to effectively publicize the events to attract the masses, he said.

“With 'People's March to Power', SDPI is heading towards each village and town across the state to empower the common people with the political awareness. All citizens of our nation irrespective of their religion, creed and language should get representation in power proportionate to the count of population. All the backward and deprived classes should get equal share in education, employment, land ownership, and other fundamental rights in all domains. SDPI wishes to strengthen the system of Secularism, socialism and democracy that are the components of our Constitution”, Mr Kodaje said.

He also said that the so-called national and regional political parties like Congress, BJP, Communist, JDS, BSP, etc. have totally failed in finding solutions to the problems of the people. Of these political parties, some are being ruled by specific families and some by upper-classes and our administration is abided by corporate. Corrupt politicians are hurling in scandals of billions of rupees. Many of such politicians have already been to and are in jails for their immoral and corrupt practices. And many more such public representatives are yet to be welcomed in the jails for their corruption. There should be a full stop to the election of representatives who are corrupt and communal, he added.

He said, both Congress and BJP have the same kind of foreign policies and economic policies. Foreign Investment Policies are being framed by the Governments, which are in favour of capitalists and are against the welfare of the common people, he said.

Akbar Ali, General Secretary, SDPI, D K district, Nasir Sajeepa, Vice president and Abubakkar Kulai President, SDPI, Mangalore City Corportation Committee were present at the press meet.
