Mangalore, Apr 3: The district BJP on Thursday April 3 alleged that Congress is playing caste politics by specially urging Christians to support and attend AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi's rally on Friday April 4, and thereby 'spoiling' the Mangalore bishop's name.

Addressing a press meet at the BJP election office on Thursday, BJP district president Pratap Simha Nayak read out the following message before the media: "We Christians need to show our presence and strength on April 4, when Rahul Gandhi comes to Mangalore. Please come and join in the rally and please inform your friends and neighbours."

Pratap Simha Nayak said that the Congress was trying to gather Christian people by sending messages to each and every parish and their parishioners to attend Rahul Gandhi’s rally. "They have arranged vehicles for each parish to join in the rally and misused the name of Mangalore Bishop Dr Aloysius Paul D’Souza to attract the Christians," he said.

"Congress is spoiling the bishop’s name. All these 10 years Congress has been unable to give answers to the people regarding development done by the party. Congress is trying to create a fissure between the people and trying to divide them. Congress is feeling desperate as BJP PM candidate Narendra Modi is going to win. I respect our bishop, but Congress is taking him in the wrong direction and we want the Election Commission to take strict action against the Congress," he said.

Shambhu Sharma said, "People are running away from the Congress party, because they do not want to go to Rahul Gandhi’s rally and Congress is forcing them. We strongly oppose the message which has been sent to all the Catholics in bishop's name. The same message came to one of our party workers and he informed us."

Pratap Simha also criticized Vadodara Congress Lok Sabha candidate Madhusudan Mistry who was arrested for for tearing Modi's banner and said that the Congress does not have any work, hence its people are venting their anger on Modi banner.

Rukmayya Poojary and others were present.

    ACTUALLY THERE IS NO MODI WAVE

    THE WAVE IS CREATED BY MEGA FANS

    NO MODI WAVE OR MAGIC

    CREATED BY CRORES OF RUPEEES POURED INTO NDTV'S OPINON POLL

    THEY TRIED IT TO SHINE INDIA LONG BACK

    BUT IT BECAME NOT SHINING BUT WHINING

    WHY THEN AFRAID OF A MINORITY CHRISTIANS?

    IF THEIR LEADER WANTS CONGRESS SO BE IT...

    OF COURSE THEY ARE NOT LIKE BD GOONS TRYING TO STOP VALENTINES DAY, AND OTHER THINGS

    LOOK AT THE HYPOCRECY OF BJP,,, THIS YEAR FOR VALENTINES DAY THEY ALL SHUT ALL THIER HOLES AND KEPT QUIET

    FOR VOTES THEY ARE CAPABLE OF EVEN SELLING THEIR RELIGION...

    WHAT A PATHETIC CONDITION OF WE HINDUS...

    BJP BEING THE PROPHET OF HINDUISM A PEACE LOVING RELIGION AND THEY WANT TO MAKE IT A FANATIC AND COMMUNAL OUTFIT

    BE SURE NO MODI WAVE, NO DEVELOPMENT WAVE.... WHERE IS RAM TEMPLE ISSUE? WHERE IS AMITH SHAHA WHO SAID THEY WOULD BUID THE RAM TEMPLE?

    UNTIL THE VOTE THEY WILL KEEP QUIET AND THEN BEGIN AGAIN.

    THEY HAVE EMPTIED ALL THEIR IDEAS AND THE ONLY IDEA THEY HAMMER IS "GOOD GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT"

    LOOK AT HOW THEY DEVELOPED KARNATAKA AND GOVERNED IT FOR 5 YEARS WITH 3 CHEP MINISTERS.

    RIDICULOUS

    Majority in India are Hindus. The election winning impact would be only 2%. In reality Hindus are confused to vote for whom. Why talking about Christians?
    You can simply say, Hindus are selfish, that's why our country is not developed. Even Congress Cabinet majority are Hindus. They are fooling their own Hindu Brothers.
    Lets see how BJP will behave with their Hindu brothers in the future if they come to power.

    Why you are telling lies Vittal Poojary? Following extracts are from encyclopedia:
    He began work in the staff canteen of Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation, where he worked until he became a full–time pracharak (campaigner) of the RSS in 1970.[16][23][24] After Modi had received some RSS training in Nagpur, which was a prerequisite for taking up an official position in the Sangh Parivar, he was given charge of Sangh's student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), in Gujarat. Modi organised agitations and covert distribution of Sangh's pamphlets during the Emergency.[16] During his years in the RSS, Modi came in touch with Vasant Gajendragadkar and Nathalal Jaghda, leaders of the Jan Sangh, who later founded the BJP's Gujarat state unit.[24] Modi remained a pracharak in the RSS while he completed his Master's degree in political science from Gujarat University.[25]

    No where it is mentioned that Modi worked for Indian Military. From where did you get the info? It is true that India needs a strong leader and Modi can provide that leadership. But will he be able to sustain that? There are many enemies for Modi within BJP who are very dangerous.

    BJP and RSS is not practicing what they preach. They are confused and always trying to put confusion in others mind.
    All BJP leaders go to temple and seek swamiji's blessings for taking any step, of course it is the right thing to do.
    But BJP has serious apprehensions, when some political leaders come to Church or Priests or Bishops to seek blessings and support!

    Very strange and dual standard.

If you made a mistake please go to bishop and ask for forgiveness before it's gets too late.

    Why do we need BJP representatives to speak on a matter concerning the Bishop ? I am sure The Bishop and the Christian community are more than capable of speaking for themselves.

    Where were they when our church and nuns were attacked ? Did the guilty get punished ? Why were our people accused when we were actually the victims ?

    If Christians are a small minority why is the BJP getting tense and nervous about who Christians want to vote for ? Perhaps the BJP is hoping for the Christian votes to get divided between the AAP and the Congress party so it helps the BJP to win.

    I would really like to ask Lobaam
    some very pertinent questions:
    1. Are Christians really 'Miffed' at Congress as reported, because of lack of representation?
    2. If so how long this 'Miffism'?
    3. What happened to the complaint
    regarding Sonia's & AK's portryal
    as Christian Gods?
    4.Is there any truth in the allegations made in this 'Press Meet'?
    5. Is it true that a certain percentage of Christians have leaned towards the AAP?
    6.Has it been difficult to hold the 'flock' together?
    I ask these questions because the
    former MLA took everything for granted including the support from his community the last time round.
    You and we all know how it boomeranged and the end result....

    Alwyn...
    With due respect you are in Canada.
    I am nearer to the ground realities.
    I too am looking for genuine answers from people who matter.
    For question no :
    1.Refer to the report in daiji only some time back and the Sangliana case.
    2.It's obvious to question then if the 'dissatisfaction' still persists right.
    3.Of course, this was another case
    which raked up much 'heat' but is not heard of thereafter. there was a hue and cry and I believe nothing thereafter. (I had opined to let 'go' of this thing because
    of the 'senseless' persons involved and had got a record 'disagrees' then!...)
    4. Think a 'rejoinder' or 'apt answer' is needed in this case from somebody responsible because
    of the persons involved and the responsibilities they bear.
    5&6 are pertinent questions and are substantiated by the comments here in this forum and as well as what we gather when we move around here.
    The inference I get from the number of disagrees is that not many have understood the gist of what i have written.
    If so read and re-read the moral.

    How dare this BJP talking about christians, you people entered our churches and insulted our holy sacrament, now you are talking about Bishop. Really, it is shame you BJP, how come you will forget so soon, think about christians, don't talk only when election comes, I request all christians should attend Rahul rally, because we are supported by only congress.

    The BJP who never accomplished goodness to Christians and Muslims in their lifetime and even they never invite Bishop for their congregations plus simply accusing our community dragging the bishop's name by other political parties.

    Shameless Bharatiya Jaanuvaar Party.

    However, whoever invite it is their duty, yet the clergy are not attending to political rally's because they are barred from such activities during their priesthood oath taking.

    when modi came to mangalore, people from villages were brought in by vehicles, giving them money and food also. So its fair in politics to show some solidarity and i feel there is nothing wrong in it. BJP give frequent ads on TV channels and Radio regarding the wrong doings of congress without hesitation. Where is the Election Committee for taking action in the name of Code of Conduct for this.

    Dear mr.Pratap
    This what congress did from years but educated christains are with BJP and they vot for BJP as they know that BJP not harmed them in fact given MP seat to represent also,many of them supported Mr.Vajpayee because he did good job .
    congress mangalore is thinking only vote by christains and musilms is enough to win this election,they are wrong nd will be proved on 17th May14 when BJP will form the next goct in centre
    Dear ALL christain voters and Muslim voters I humbly request you to vote for Mr.Nalin kumar so that one more MP can do better progress to mangalore.we need development not caste politics
    Raul can not give good governance,where ever he went congress lost heavily eg,west bengal,UP,Bihar,Orrissa,MP,GujarathDelhi,Goa,etc.....karntaka-BJP lost because of infighting,short of majority,operation kamala and bad management and selfishness of Mr.Yediyurappa
    BJP will not repeat such mistake again

    best wishes to all

    Frustration shows up this way from BJP to prevent people from one community or to tarnish the Image of Bishop of Mangalore by spreading these lies.
    Nobody has called anybody to attend any meetings or not to attend any.
    The ONLY CALL is to Vote those Candidates who work for the Welfare of the Society as a whole without Discrimination or without Pride or Prejudice towards ALL.
    Hope BJP will REFRAIN from spreading these Lies or Propaganda to polarize Voters or Vote Bank Politics.

    ..you mean fake message..Bishop should complain for using his name without authorization for political purpose..EC has already issued strict direction, even banned flex banners from political parties for religious activities..these congressmen already successfully created rift between one section, now started with another..God save INDIA..

    Yet another FEKU...
    Why is BJP concerned about Congress garnering people to attend Rahul Gandhi's rally? Where was Pratap Simha hiding during church attacks? Why did he not condemn those attacks when BJP was in power in Karnataka? Why is he so much concerned for christians now? If he has capacity let him woo the christians to vote for BJP candidate..

    Who are these jokers to talk on behalf of Christians. First, you should apologize for dividing communities of coastal Karnataka on religious lines during the BJP rule because of which you were royally kicked out from power. Your FEKU Magic did not work then. The people of Karnataka have learnt a very bad lesson from BJP. All minorities have vowed never to allow poisonous BJP from coming to power again.

    What do bjp people say who are trying to defame Narayana Guru ( the saint who preached peace and equality) by creating facebook page in the name of Billava for Namo and Calling Narendra Modi as reincarnation of Brahmashree Narayana Guru Swami. Thereby giving disrespect to Shree Guru and a very cheap and low level attempt to bag Billava votes.
