Kannur (Kerala), March 19: A senior Bishop of the influential Syro-Malabar Catholic Church has created ripples in the political waters of Kerala by saying that if the Centre promised to increase the price of rubber procurement to Rs 300 per kilogram, BJP’s dearth of an MP from the southern state would be addressed.
Thalassery Archbishop Mar Joseph Pamplany made the announcement here at a farmers’ rally.
Speaking at the rally, he said,”No protest in a democracy has value if it does not translate into votes during elections.
“We will tell the Central government that whichever your party may be, we will vote for you if you can increase the price of rubber to Rs 300. The migrant population will address the issue of your lack of an MP from here.” The Archbishop’s statement comes a couple of weeks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, buoyed by his party’s poll performance in three minority dominated northeastern states, said that the BJP alliance would form a government in Kerala considering the increasing support of minorities for the saffron party.
