Mangaluru: Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Mangaluru MLA U. T. Khader lashed out at the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) leaders over the allegations of corruption made at the SDPI conclave on Friday May 27 against iconic secular leader and Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who upholds the religious harmony in the State and respects all parties.

Khader said “Did the BJP government give you 40% commission to criticise the Congress and Siddaramaiah? You who shout that you are secular, instead of lashing out at communal forces, you are targeting secular force. is it because of the commission you have received or due to fear of the BJP that you are standing in the grounds of a BJP leader and spreading false propaganda against the Congress and the JD (S)?”

U. T. Khader hit back at the SDPI leaders and said that the intelligent people of the coastal region will decide at the right time and give you a befitting reply.
