Udupi: Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji of Pejawar Math claimed that political parties are trying to poach people’s representatives through backdoor politics such as ‘Operation Kamala’ or resort politics were unethical in a democracy.

Addressing a media at Udupi Sri Krishna Math premises, Swamiji said, “The State has witnessed hung assembly, parties must work together as one team and work in coalition. The model of all-party government which is there in England must be introduced here too so that development is not hindered.”

When questioned about his opinion PM Modi’s completion of four years, Pejawar Swamiji said that he was not satisfied with the present government which has ‘failed to fulfill promises made before elections’.

Several promises which were made as election manifestos have not yet been fulfilled, such as bringing back black money, cleaning river Ganga. However some policies need appreciation such as note ban and GST.

The government should at least implement schemes for farmers in the remaining one year of its tenure. Ganga cleaning and building Ram Mandir should be the top priority of the government. More than 20 Muslim religious heads have supported building Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

When questioned on organizing Iftar koota at Sri Krishna Math, he said that if Muslim leaders came forward he was ready to organize it this year too. “I respect people from every religion but whenever something goes against Hindu religion I have protested. I urge every religion to be given equal recognition as espoused in the Indian Constitution.”
