A. Raja, an ‘absentee landlord,’ who speaks ill of sanatana dharma, says Annamalai in the Nilgiris

State president of the K. Annamalai criticised Nilgiris Lok Sabha MP, A. Raja, comparing him to an “absentee landlord” who is never seen by his constituents. He also said that Mr. Raja did not speak about any of the problems in his constituency, but instead focused on speaking ill of sanatana dharma.

He was speaking at the ‘En Mann En Makkal’ padayatra in Gudalur in the Nilgiris on Tuesday.

“2G Raja (referring to the 2G spectrum case) is like an ‘absentee landlord’. Nobody in the Nilgiris has seen him. He is only here to cause problems and speak badly of sanatana dharma, comparing it to HIV and AIDS… He has no connection to the Nilgiris and no interest in trying to address people’s issues. That is why the BJP is addressing all the people’s problems in the Nilgiris,” he said.
