“Mainly distressed about the trust and affection shown by people to Mr Khader, Mr Rai, and other Congress candidates, opposition parties and independent candidates have been creating rumours and spreading false allegations about them. It has been noticed that these allegations have been targeted mainly at the minorities, who make up a large portion of the electorate population”, said Mr Kodijal, appealing to voters not to heed to rumour-mongers attempting to divide the votes of minorities.
He also appealed to people to vote for candidates from the party that did not indulge in communalism.
During his term as an MLA, several developmental projects have been initiated by U T Khader, who has responded to the problems of all communities irrespective of caste and creed and made every effort to generate communal harmony in the region. Every candidate in the party possesses similar qualities. Support has been garnered from people of all classes, and Congress candidates are in the forefront to emerge victorious in these elections. This has spawned several false allegations against them, and a complaint will be submitted to the Election Commissioner on the matter, he said.
He further said that it was sad and unfortunate that rumours were abound on leaders like U T Khader and Ramanath Rai who had always strived for the welfare of the people.
Strict action will be taken on rumour-mongers, warned Mr Kodijal.
