The Democratic Youth Federation of India urged youths to
support candidates representing the Left parties or those from the
third alternative that the Left parties support in the ensuing Lok Sabha
elections.
Addressing a public meeting at the end of
two day district DYFI meeting on Monday, DYFI district president Muneer
Katipalla said both the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party were
two sides of the same coin. Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi — whom he described as prime
ministerial candidates from the two parties — were being backed by
corporate entities. Kannada actor Chetan said the youth should continue
their fight till equality was achieved in society. There should be no
barriers of caste, creed and language. “All languages are ours. Efforts
should be made to grow it.” He recalled the contribution made to
literature from Beary, Konkani, Tulu and Malayalam. “If we accept these
languages, we will grow,” he said.
DYFI State
president M.L. Bharatraj and CITU district secretary Vasanth Achary also
spoke. In a meeting of the district DYFI held in Kolya, Mr. Katipalla
was unanimously re-elected as the district unit president. The names of
the other office-bearers of DYFI elected were Dayanand Shetty
(Secretary), Jeevanraj Kuttar (Treasurer), Ashok Shetty Chemugudde (vice
president), B.K. Imtiyaz (vice president) and Pramila K. Shatinagar
(vice president).
