Mangaluru, Feb 28: AICC member P V Mohan on Saturday February 28 announced that he has resigned as a member of the Mangalore University Academic Council.
Announcing this at a press meet, he said, "I will continue to stick to my decision of not accepting any post either in the government, semi-government, corporations or any such organizations during this term of the Congress government in the state. Instead as a sincere party worker I want to involve myself in party affairs and strengthen the party."
He further said, "There are several sincere party workers who have been working for the party since several years, hence the party should identify those who have been working for more than 10 years and appoint them for the 800 vacant posts in government, semi-government,
corporations or any such organization without giving importance to lobbying."
On his resignation from the Mangalore University Acadamic Council membership, he said, "I want to work in order to strengthen the party. I want to involve myself more in the party's activities."
Expressing aspiration of becoming the district president of Congress party, P V Mohan said, "I am aspiring for the post of district Congress president and I want to be involved in the party's work. I have decided to strengthen the party. If the party intends to hold internal elections for the post of district president, I am ready to contest."
Terming the VHP's Hindu Samajotsava as a 'political vote bank project', he said, "For the past 35 years Hindu Samajostava is being organized and what is the outcome? This is a political vote bank project by which people are divided on communal lines. Sensible Hindus will never accept this."
He added that this time whoever chairs the Hindu Samajotsava should give in white paper about what they have done for the betterment of the community. "Have problems such as dowry system, superstitious practices and so on been stopped?" he questioned.
He also mentioned that Vijay Vittalnath Shetty is not from Congress and that the issue surrounding BHP founder Hemanath Shetty's ouster was a 'closed' episode.
