Will contest from Dakshina Kannada Constituency only to defeat the BJP: SDPI

March 17: The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has decided to contest from Dakshina Kannada this Lok Sabha election. The Party has begun its campaign with the slogan, “Vote for SDPI to defeat the BJP.”
SDPI district president, Athavulla Jokatte said “We have decided to contest this election and are confident of success. We want all secular minded people to support us and defeat the BJP.”
He stated that the Congress is not a secular party since it has failed to defeat the BJP and there is no point in voting for it. Now only the SDPI can stop the BJP. He even mentioned that the minorities and dalit account for seven lakh vote in the constituency and if all the secular voters unite, the party will be able to emerge victorious.
The party has successfully contested the local body elections in the past and gained support in the district for the last few years.
