Vellapally Natesan begins his dream yatra
SNDP leader calls VS a monkey; Modi to unveil Sankar’s statue, says BJP chief
KASARGOD: SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellapalli Natesan kicked off his ‘Samatwa Munnetta Yatra’ from Kasargod on Monday with the aim of forming a political party by uniting all majority communities in the state.
He lighted a lamp at Madhur Sidhivinayaka temple to mark the beginning of his march in the presence of BJP state president V. Muraleedharan, who had come there to bless the BJP’s new-found partner.
Mr Muraleedharan also announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would unveil R. Sankar’s statue in Kollam.
Mr Vellapally launched a tirade against CPM veteran V. S. Achuthanandan, terming him as a monkey that had burnt his legs. He said VS who was like a dead body in the CPM had got a new lease of life because of SNDP’s march.
“The SNDP knows only to spread the message of love and not to inflict 51 cuts on its political opponents,” he said referring to the murder of T. P. Chandrasekharan.
The Yatra will end at Shanghumughom, Thiruvananthapuram, on December 5 when Mr Natesan is expected to announce the formation of a new political party.
A public meeting was also held at Kasargod as part of the march and pontiffs of various mutts lit the lamp to inaugurate it.
