Karnataka Assembly Polls: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national general secretary CT Ravi Wednesday said the party does not want the votes of ‘those Muslims’ who have Pakistani mindset.
He said, “We do not want the votes of those who have a Pakistani mindset. People who are like Abdul Kalam and Shishunala Sharifa vote for BJP. We bring government schemes keeping ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’ in mind, not caste.”
“There are many patriots among Muslims who vote for BJP. But some of them who support Pakistan and have divisive ideology vote for Congress and Janata Dal,” said the BJP leader.
