KOTTAYAM: The Yogakshema Sabha, representing the Brahmin community in the state, has initiated moves to associate itself with the political party to be formed by the SNDP Yogam. The Sabha leaders will meet the SNDP leadership on October 5 in this connection.
"We have already held the first round of discussions with the SNDP. However, we are ready to associate with anyone who will help us to get political power. The only condition is that those who align with us should accept our demands," president of the Yogakshema Sabha, Akkeeraman Kalidasan Bhattathiripad, told DC.
During their meeting with SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellapally Natesan, they had discussed the need to form a collective, which should be later developed politically, he said.
Though the Brahmin community in the state is less in number compared to the other so- called minorities, they enjoyed reservation benefits, he said.
Moreover, the organization with around seven lakh members was not being given its due by the political parties, he added.
