Mangalore, October 10: Dhakshina Kannada is marred with communal politics despite being the district of the educated people in the state, said Satya Bhadravati, state convener, Dalit Sangharsh Samiti (Krishnappa faction).
Speaking after inaugurating the valedictory ceremony of district level membership drive of the organisation at Ravindra Kalabhavan here, he called upon the Dalits to come out of the shades of communalist politics to overcome their problems.
Stating that the Mangalore city police solved the Dalit taxi driver Govardhan murder case only after his organization exerted pressure on the department, he opined that the district administration is delaying the construction of Ambedkar Bhavan construction due to the lack of unity among Dalit communities.
Dalits should strengthen the DSS, through their social commitment and put an end to all their problems by a new movement, he said.
Mr Bhadravati said that DSS is working based on mass leadership, through which it had succeeded in stopping 'bettale-seve' (nude services) in Sagar Taluk despite the staunch opposition from RSS.
