Mangaluru, Mar 28: Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, who seeking reelection on BJP ticket for the third consecutive term today rubbished the reports of secret pact with the Social Democratic Party of India as baseless rumours.

Congress leaders in the coastal district had recently claimed that SDPI fielded its candidate from Dakshina Kannada just to help BJP by dividing non-communal votes and thereby reducing the vote share of Congress in the next month’s Lok Sabha polls.

Replying to the queries of media persons on the sidelines of the BJP workers’ meet at Sullia, Mr Kateel said that Congress and SDPI leaders help each other. “BJP will not stoop to the level of reaching a secret deal with parties like SDPI. You can expect such politics from Congress leaders,” he said.

He said that during last year’s Karnataka Assembly polls Congress leaders had very easily convinced SDPI to withdraw the nominations.

“This time too Congress will convince SDPI candidate to withdraw nomination in Dakshina Kannada. Let them do whatever they want. We are least bothered. Because we are sure that BJP will register a thumping victory in Dakshina Kannada in this polls too,” he said.
