Mangaluru: Sri Rama Sene Chief Pramod Mutalik who is aspiring to contest Karnataka Assembly Elections from Karkala Constituency, on Monday said of the 109 cases registered against him so far, several were registered against him were filed during the BJP rule in the state.
Speaking at a press conference on in the city, Mutalik took a dig at the BJP adding that he was obstacled the most by his own people for his views on Hindutva.
He further added that he was confident of contesting the polls from Karkala and that he wouldn’t step back from contesting the polls.
“I don’t know how to play politics. I wear my heart to my sleeve. If I had licked the boots of the BJP and would’ve supported the BJP’s fake Hindutva, I would’ve achieved a lot by now.” he said.
“I will contest as an independent candidate and I am not pressurized by anyone. Instead, I have received support from several people.” He said expressing confidence of winning the upcoming elections.
“What we are fighting for is the real Hindutva. We are also fighting against corruption in the state. By looking at how much the wealth of Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar’s has increased since he first contested elections, we can figure out the extent of corruption that has gripped the constituency.” Mutalik further added.
“I don’t have anything, I don’t even have a bank account, I stay in a rented house. I don’t have money and that’s why I am not scared.” He added.
