CPI-M slams Hindu Ezhava leader for taking RSS support

Kannur (Kerala), Jan 18:  CPI-M politburo member Pirayi Vijayan on Monday launched a blistering attack on Hindu Ezhava leader Vellapali tesan for taking the support of the RSS for his newly launched political party. Vijayan asked tesan to come out of the Sree raya Dharma Paripala (SNDP) Yogam. “Now it’s quite clear that it was the RSS which was behind tesan’s new political party and hence it’s time that tesan drops the flag of the SNDP that he carries now and the flag of the Sangh Parivar is what he should now hold,” Vijayan told reporters. The SNDP Yogam is the social movement of the powerful Hindu Ezhava community in Kerala whose values were enunciated by Sree raya Guru. Ever since tesan formed the Bharath Dharma Ja Se (BDJS) in December, he has come under fire especially from the CPI-M. “tesan is now working on the agenda drawn up by the RSS and hence he has to give up the SDP Yogam at the earliest,” Vijayan said. Vijayan’s attack comes a day after state BJP president Kummam Rajasekheran, his predecessor V. Muraleedharan and BDJS president and tesan’s son Tushar Vellapalli held talks with BJP president Amit Shah and worked out a plan for the assembly poll in Kerala, which is likely to be held in April-May.
