Shivakumar comes down on Reddy brothers, SriramuluCongress draws flak for excluding minorities

The failure of the Congress high command to field even one candidate from the minority communities has evoked strong criticism from the leaders of the community.
While former Congress MLA and MP Peter Alphonse said the Congress had alienated the minorities in the State by denying them a seat, former IAS officer M.G. Devasahayam said the party’s leadership failed to respect the letters of four Bishops from Kanniyakumari urging the party to field a Christian candidate.
The four Bishops from Kanniyakumari district had written to Congress general secretary Mukul Wasnik to field a Catholic candidate. In Kanniyakumari, the Congress has fielded sitting MLA H. Vasanth Kumar.
